Notes
Apple: Some kinds blend better than others. I like Aroma, Granny Smith, Gala, Red Delicious, and Fuji apples for this reason.
Greek yogurt: You can also use other plain yogurts, like Turkish yogurt and other natural, unsweetened yogurts. You can use sweetened and/or flavored yogurt as well, but it won't taste the same.
Mix the fruits first, with just a little bit of added liquid. This is the best way to get a really smooth smoothie without any chunky or gritty pieces.
To avoid the apple giving a gritty feel, make sure the banana, apple, and water are all well mixed without any chunks left before adding the yogurt.
Freeze bananasto use for smoothies: Peel and chop them and place them in small bags or containers for easy use in all your smoothies. Using frozen bananas is the best way to ensure your smoothie is ice cold, and it's also a great way to take care of bananas going bad.
Make the smoothie colder by using frozen banana or mixing in a few ice cubes after the fruit but before the yogurt.
Store leftovers in the fridge. It's best served immediately, but it's fine to drink it the day after as well.
