The world’s rarest fruit! Nah not really, we all know and love the apple, whether it’s a Granny, a Golden, or covered in toffee. One of the earliest fruits used and it’ll probably be knocking around till judgement day.

Apples are used in pies, crumbles, dipped in chocolate, toffee, sugar. They can be made into marmalade, spreads and butters, crisps and chips, baked and stewed, wines and cider and of course you can just chomp into one whole.

Storage

In the fruit bowl. (But you should know that)

When to use

Apples last ages really, and even when they start to shrivel you can still bung them in the smoothie maker. Apples are quite hard so they're good for juicing too. If you have a juicer why not make some fresh apple juice to go in your smoothie.

How to use

You can put apples into a smoothie maker in chopped pieces, however this may cause your smoothie to be unsmooth, so try adding an Avocado to add smoothness or use apple juice instead!

Nutritional stuff

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Vit C, antioxidants, protection from cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and stress. They may even promote weight loss and lower cholesterol.

A few tips

Try different types of apples, for a whole range of flavours! Don’t eat or add the core to your smoothie, it wont harm you but they aren’t too good for you and don’t taste all that good!
