How to Make an Apple Smoothie

How to Make an Apple Smoothie thumbnail
Smoothies are refreshing and nutritious.

Smoothies can provide a cooling nutrient boost during the hot summer months. You can use any type of fruit or vegetable you like, and you can create smoothies with a juice, water or milk base. Keep the doctor away with a daily apple smoothie. But because apples in a blender will create something closer to apple sauce than a smoothie, it's a good idea to add other fruits such as strawberries to an apple smoothie. Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

  • 1 cup low-fat strawberry yogurt
  • 6 oz. frozen strawberries
  • 1 apple
  • 1 tbsp. Sugar
  • 1 cup ice cubes
