This quick apple and cinnamon smoothie combines crisp apple juice, fresh fruit, warm spice and a touch of vanilla. Using juice rather than milk keeps it bright and refreshing, while ripe banana gives it a naturally smooth texture.

Note

I use apple juice from either my butcher or the local farmer's market, it has to be pasteurised as I am allergic to the pectins. Additionally, this doesn't taste right if you use 50% water and 50% milk so go with the juice or even make your own fresh apple juice.
