Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the chopped apple, creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check consistency and adjust by blending in 1–2 tablespoons additional liquid if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use crisp apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for best flavor and texture. For a thicker smoothie, freeze the apple pieces before blending.
