This blueberry apple smoothie is one of our favorite smoothie recipes. It’s so easy to make and packed with nutrients.
You can use store bought dried blueberries, but I prefer to use homemade dehydrated blueberries and turn them into powder form. There’s just something about the flavor of fresh blueberries that can’t be beat.
I add in some dehydrated apple to give it a nice texture and a hint of cinnamon to warm it up.
