Cox Orange Pippin Smoothie
This refreshing smoothie highlights the complex, honey-sweet, and aromatic profile of the classic Cox's Orange Pippin apple. Blended with creamy Greek yogurt and a hint of cinnamon, it's a sophisticated take on a fruit breakfast.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 medium Cox's Orange Pippin apples cored and roughly chopped, skin left on for nutrients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 0.5 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 frozen banana banana sliced before freezing for creaminess
- 1 tbsp honey optional, to taste
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon adds warmth to the apple flavor
- 1 tsp lemon juice prevents oxidation and adds brightness
- 0.5 cup ice cubes for a chilled, frothy texture
Notes
For the best flavor, ensure the apples are at room temperature before blending to release their full aroma. If you don't have Cox Orange Pippins, Braeburn or Gala are suitable substitutes, though they lack the same spicy-honey complexity. To make this vegan, swap the Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt and the honey for maple syrup. Best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in an airtight thermos for up to 4 hours.
