This Green Apple Smoothie is made with almond milk, apple cider vinegar, apples, bananas, kale, and blended into green perfection.
This smoothie is packed with antioxidants, immune boosting properties, and helps improve cholesterol levels, not to mention it is delicious. This smoothie also has a TON of benefits for your hair, nails and skin. Avocado is a great source of biotin, and adding this in your diet may help your hair grow more healthily. I basically eat one of these smoothies a day and it has seriously helped so much.
I usually drink apple cider vinegar in the morning, and have now incorporated in my daily smoothie. Apple Cider Vinegar has powerful antimicrobial properties that ease skin infections and soothe irritation. As a mild acid, ACV may also help restore the PH balance of your skin. More importantly, the antimicrobial substance can help kill any bad bacteria in the stomach or intestines, promoting your gut health.

Substitutions
Almond Milk: You can use regular milk, oat milk, or soy milk. You can even opt for using water!
Apple Cider Vinegar: Make sure to use an apple cider vinegar that is organic and raw. Using otherwise will not be great for your stomach since we aren’t cooking with it.
Apple: I used a green apple for a more acidic taste, but you can use red or yellow.
Banana: The banana is a great natural sweetener for the smoothie, without being overly sweet. Make sure to use a ripe banana.
Kale: You can use kale or spinach.
Collagen: I like the Natreve or Vital Proteins brands, but you can use whichever you prefer.
Variations

Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.

Storage
This will be good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.
Top tip
