Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Tablespoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium apples (12.8 oz or 364 g)
  • 1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt (4 oz or 115 g)
  • 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter (0.6 oz or 16 g)
  • 1 scoop whey protein powder (1.1 oz or 32 g)
  • 1 cup apple juice (8.5 fl oz or 250 ml)

Instructions
 

  • Slice the apples.
    Firstly, you need to wash, and then slice the apples, like in the picture above, to get the core out of the apples and make them fit in the blender.
    Don't peel the apples because the peel contains many nutrients

  • Think whether all the ingredients will fit inside your blender.
    If you use an undersized blender with a capacity of less than 800 ml (27 fl oz), break the ingredients into 2 or more identical portions, then follow the next instructions for each portion individually.

  • Add the ingredients to the blender, making sure the apple juice ends up at the bottom of the blender.
    In case you have a blender with an ingredient recipient that must be turned upside down when installed on the blender, always add the apple juice lastly. This way, the blades will work smoothly rather than clogging in other ingredients.

  • Blend the ingredients until the smoothie develops a fine texture (about 30-60 seconds).
    If you own a less powerful blender, you may need to mix the ingredients for longer than 1 minute. Still, to prevent overheating your blender, abide by the recommended blending duration in your blender's manual.
