Mutsu Apple Pineapple Smoothie
A refreshing and crisp breakfast blend featuring the honey-sweet notes of Mutsu (Crispin) apples paired with tropical pineapple. This vibrant green-gold smoothie is naturally sweet, hydrating, and packed with vitamin C.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 large Mutsu apple cored and chopped, skin left on for fiber
- 1.5 cups fresh pineapple cubed
- 1 cup coconut water chilled
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla; use coconut yogurt for vegan option
- 1 tbsp honey optional, adjust based on fruit ripeness
- 0.5 tsp fresh ginger grated for a subtle zing
- 1 cup ice cubes optional for a frostier texture
- 1 tsp lemon juice to prevent oxidation and brighten flavor
Notes
For a greener version, add a handful of baby spinach; it won't change the flavor profile. If making ahead, store in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours, though separation is natural—simply shake well before drinking. Substitute Mutsu apples with Granny Smith if you prefer a more tart flavor.
