apple smoothie recipe with step by step pics. delicious and healthy smoothie made with apples, coconut milk and cinnamon. fruits can be consumed the way they are, but can also be made in smoothies or milkshakes. at times i make this apple smoothie and thought of sharing the method.
for most fruit based smoothie, i use almond milk or coconut milk. dairy milk and some fruits are an incompatible combination according to ayurveda and cause bloating, gas and digestion problems.
to make apple smoothie you can also use any vegan milk like non gmo soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk or coconut milk. a dash of cinnamon adds a nice aroma and flavor to the smoothie.
for making smoothie or milkshakes always use the variety of apples which are sweet. avoid using apples which are tart or sour. when you use sweet apples you can skip adding any sweetener or add less amounts of it.
apples are one of those fruits that are covered with wax and also have lot of pesticides on them. i usually buy organic apples. i personally prefer apples from kinnaur (himachal pradesh). but if you do not get organic apples, then you can use regular apples. just soak the apples in water in which some vinegar has been mixed. soak for 15 to 20 minutes and then thoroughly rinse the apples. use 1 tablespoon vinegar for 1 cup water.
few more recipes where you can use apples are:
- apple halwa
- apple pie recipe
- eggless apple cake
- eggless apple muffins recipe
- apple upside down cake recipe

How will be the taste of soy,almond or coconut milk .in my place I get in huge qty so want to confirm before buying
Can we prepare coffee or tea from above milk if yes then how
Ur reply will be great help
Thanks in advance
with soy milk and almond milk coffee can be prepared. with soy milk you can heat tea tea the way we heat and boil with milk like they do in indian homes. with almond milk, just add it directly to the tea or lightly warm. if almond milk is boiled with tea then it becomes sticky. with coconut milk also add directly. do not heat as the coconut milk curdles. taste is very different. the taste of the type of milk is felt in the tea. i have made teas with all these three milk. out of this almond milk slightly gives a neutral taste and tastes more like tea made with milk.
when buying any of these milks readymade, check the ingredients and other stuff. for soy milk always use non gmo soy milk. gmo (genetically modified organism) soybeans are not good for body. for almond milk check the stuff that is added in it. if it has carageenan which is used as thickener, then avoid as it can cause cancer. also check for other additives, thickeners and preservatives. a quick google search can give you the harmful effects of these. since you are planning to take these milks everyday, its better to be on the safe side. i usually make coconut milk and almond milk at home. so whenever these are there in the fridge, i do make smoothies or milkshakes with them.
thank u so much for the valuable comments .i am so happy to receive the detailed reply .thanks a lot again.
