Spiced Apple Smoothie

Last week, I found this recipe amongst several other delicious-looking smoothie recipes in Smoothies and Juices from The Marks & Spencer Essentials Collection, published in 2002.  I chose Spiced Apple Smoothie as the recipe to try as I already had the available ingredients at home.


Ingredients (serves 2)
250ml/9 fl oz apple juice
1/2 teaspoon powdered cinnamon
2 teaspoons grated fresh root ginger
2 bananas, sliced and frozen
slices of fresh banana on cocktail sticks to decorate

Method

1. Pour the apple juice into a food processor.  Add the cinnamon and ginger and process gently until combined.
2. Add the banana and process until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency.
3. Pour the mixture into tall glasses and decorate with slices of fresh banana on cocktail sticks. 
4. Serve immediately.
