Apple Banana Smoothie

Image via 

Today I am discussing a juice recipe which I like very much. This apple banana smoothie is very soothing especially in hot season. You can use this recipe as smoothie or juice. Apple and banana is a best combination for a smoothie and it is of great taste. By adding orange make it a vitamin rich formula. If served with ice definitely it becomes smoothie-soothing.

Apple Banana Smoothie
Green apples 2
Orange 1/2
Ripe banana 1
Brewers yeast 1 tbsp.



Cut apples into small pieces. No need to remove seeds. Peel the orange and remove seeds. Then put apple pieces and peeled orange in a mixer/grinder and make the juice. I do not prefer juicer because it remove all fleshy part and give only liquid juice. By using a mixer it mashes the fruits. After that use a loose sieve to take the juice. Then put this juice, banana and yeast in a blender and make the smoothie. If you prefer to get juice then take only half banana and add a little water if needed.

If garnish Apple Banana Smoothie with slices of orange is good. Remember to add ice pieces and have it immediately. Or the ice cubes may become water and diminish the taste of the smoothie.
