How to make easy Caramel Apple Smoothies
Start by coring, peeling and slicing the apple into thin pieces. Transfer the apple slices to the blender.
Then, add in the apple juice concentrate, caramel sauce and the ice cubes. Proceed to blend all ingredients together until nice and smooth.
Pour into glasses, serve immediately and drizzle with additional caramel if desired. Enjoy!
Note: I have made this recipe a couple of times and have found that adding in 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt creates a creamier beverage. Add it or leave it out, either way it will taste incredible.

Nutrition
HOW LONG IS CARAMEL APPLE SMOOTHIE GOOD FOR?
Like most smoothies, I recommend only making this smoothie right before you plan on serving it. Drinking it immediately is best because that is when the textures, flavor, and temperature, are really at their ideal peak of perfection.
WHAT APPLES GO GOOD IN SMOOTHIES?
I recommend trying this recipe with a sweeter heartier apple such as a Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp. Feel free to also try it with any apples that you may have on hand including a tart apple like Granny Smith.
SHOULD I PEEL AN APPLE FOR A SMOOTHIE?
For this smoothie recipe, we do request that you peel the apple, but you can go ahead and try it without peeling if desired. What matters most is that you wash the peel well and remove the seeds and stems as we do not want to eat those. The good news is that apple peels do have added nutrition and should be finely blended throughout the smoothie and made virtually unnoticeable if you leave any of it still on.
