Have I ever told you that Granny Smith apples are among my favorites? Yes, indeed, with their particularly tart taste, but those who follow me know that I prefer bold flavors! I also love them because they have a crunchy and firm pulp and… because green is also my favorite color. All excellent reasons, I would say, to appreciate them.
To stay on the color theme, I used Granny Smith apples from Val Venosta to prepare this refreshing and flavorful green smoothie. And let’s be honest, it is perfect for this post-holiday binge period.
