Note

For a thicker consistency, use more frozen fruit and less liquid. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk or juice.

You can substitute the apple juice cubes with regular ice cubes, though the flavor will be less fruity.

Ensure bananas are fully frozen for the best creamy texture. Pre-freezing banana slices in a bag makes this recipe quick and easy.

This smoothie is best served immediately after blending to prevent separation.

For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt and milk alternative.
