As you will have guessed it, an integral a part of The Smoothie Membership is sharing a smoothie recipe on the finish of the presentation. I knew the membership had beforehand hosted visitor audio system who had made inexperienced smoothies, berry concoctions, and creamy cacao treats as their smoothie of selection. So I actually wished to create one thing distinctive. Kim Renshaw (the founding father of The Smoothie Membership) and I had additionally chatted about attempting to make the smoothie as seasonal and native as potential.
All of I sudden I went by a few of my favorite smoothie combos, each do-it-yourself and store-bought, and realised that the majority of them had been relatively unlocal! Cacao powder, maca powder, spirulina, frozen blueberries, goji berries, acai berries, maqui berry, camu camu, gubinge powder, coconut, coconut milk, dates, vanilla, cinnamon, almonds, cashews, brazil nuts… You get the image. None of those are grown in New Zealand, and solely a pair are grown over the ditch in Australia. So I needed to get my recipe pondering cap on.

After a couple of completely different combos, I lastly landed on this one – and let me let you know associates, it’s a winner. It’s utterly completely different from different smoothies you will have tried, but is tremendous easy to make, and importantly, scrumptious. It’s based mostly on native seasonal natural apples, grown proper right here in New Zealand. I used Pacific Rose apples in my model, that are a scrumptious candy selection grown in NZ. Granny Smiths although additionally work effectively, and if I used to be making it in Australia I’d make a beeline for these scrumptious natural Pink Girl’s you’ll be able to decide up on the markets.
The crisp candy apples are mixed with a splash of frozen banana and cashews for creaminess, then topped off with a vanilla, cinnamon, date combo to take you again to granny’s Apple Pie of outdated. Plus a splash of maca powder for added hormonal steadiness when you like. It’s undoubtedly a refreshing and exceedingly wholesome model of Apple Pie in a glass.
