Ashmeads Kernel Apple Smoothie
This premium smoothie highlights the complex, pear-like flavor and sharp acidity of the heirloom Ashmead's Kernel apple, balanced with creamy Greek yogurt and a hint of warm spice.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 medium Ashmead's Kernel apples cored and roughly chopped, skin left on for nutrients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 tbsp almond butter for richness and protein
- 1 tsp honey adjust based on apple sweetness
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon high quality Ceylon preferred
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor and prevent browning
- 1 cup ice cubes crushed ice for faster blending
Notes
For the best texture, use a high-speed blender to fully pulverize the apple skins. If Ashmead's Kernel apples are unavailable, substitute with Egremont Russet or Cox's Orange Pippin to maintain the heirloom flavor profile. Store leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 12 hours, though separation is natural; shake well before drinking.
