Alimentazione
Ingredienti e sostituzioni
What makes smoothie recipes sour are two ingredients. You need a sour apple like granny smith apple and a touch of citrus. We love lime juice, but lemon or mandarin works too.
- Mele Granny Smith – while you can make it with other kinds of apples, green apples make the best taste.
- Spinaci piccoli or trimmed kale leaves provides the same color, texture, and nutrients.
- Succo di lime o succo di limone
- Mango Congelato – or fresh mango.
- Plain Plant-Based Greek Yogurt of choice. We love almond or soy yogurt. Use coconut yogurt for a thicker consistency.
- Anacardi – Nuts thicken the smoothie.
- Acqua or coconut water. Coconut water naturally sweetens the drink and makes the smoothie less tart.
- Cubetti di ghiaccio
- Sciroppo d'acero – You can also use coconut nectar or agave syrup. Any refined sugar-free sweetener works well.
How To Make A Sour Apple Smoothie
- Cut and core the apple. Keep the skin on for extra fiber or peel the apple if you don’t have a high-speed blender.
- In the jug of a blender, add the apple pieces, baby spinach leaves, frozen mango, plain plant-based yogurt, cashew, water, maple syrup, and ice cubes.
- Blend until smooth, on high-speed or until no pieces of apples or nuts can be found.
Suggerimenti e trucchi
Let me share a few tips to change the texture and taste of this smoothie.
If you find this smoothie too liquid and you like your smoothie creamier, and less tart, add more frozen fruits, from 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of:
- Frozen mango
- Frozen bananas slices
- Ananas congelato
- Frozen green grapes
Another option is to:
- Add seeds like 1 teaspoon of flax meal or 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Aggiungere un misurino di proteine in polvere
- Swap the water for plant-based milk like oat milk, soy milk, or almond milk.
- Add 1/4 cup rolled oats – it adds fiber, and protein and makes the perfect smoothie for breakfast.
Green apples are not very sweet. They add a sour flavor to this smoothie recipe that is amazing. But, if you love a sweeter smoothie, try adding some:
- Extra maple syrup 1-2 extra teaspoons
- Banane congelate
- Stevia drops
Servire
Serve immediately with some toppings if you like, including:
- Noce di cocco essiccata
- Drizzle of nut butter
- Freeze-dried raspberries
Sostituzioni per allergie
Below are some substitution suggestions to adapt this easy smoothie recipe if you have food allergies.
- Senza noci – Replace the cashews with one tablespoon of chia seeds or sunflower seed.
- Cashew-Free – Alternative nuts are cashew butter, peanut butter, or slivered almonds.
- Mango-Free – Replace the mango with frozen banana or frozen pineapple.
- Sostituzione dello yogurt – Replace plant-based yogurt with half of a ripe avocado. This adds healthy fats and increases the smooth texture of the smoothie. Or use a thick and rich plant-based milk like canned coconut milk or soy milk for a boost of proteins.
