Appletini Smoothie

Filling and well-balanced!

Appletini Smoothie Recipe
Makes 2 servings. 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup frozen mango
• 2 frozen bananas
• 1 green apple (cut into chunks)
• 2 cup soy milk

Instructions:

1. Toss all ingredients in the blender.
2. Blend, serve and enjoy.

This healthy treat has a ton of flavor, but be sure to blend well to avoid grainy apple peel pieces. For even more smoothness, peel the apple before cutting into (blender-friendly) chunks. Swirl with chocolate syrup for a dessert treat.

Ingredients:
