Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen aronia berries also known as chokeberries
- 1 large Honeycrisp or Fuji apple cored and chopped, skin left on for fiber
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt can substitute with almond milk yogurt for vegan option
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for added Omega-3s
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional, to balance the tartness
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon adds warmth and flavor
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional, for a thicker texture
Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. If saving for later, store in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours and shake well before drinking. Substitution: If aronia berries are too tart, you can swap half the amount for frozen blueberries. Make-ahead: You can prep 'smoothie packs' by freezing the apple chunks and berries together in a freezer-safe bag.
