More Info about the Smoothie Recipe
Incase you hadn't noticed, this recipe has a lot of apple in it. Obviously
the amount of juice in an apple is very small so apple juice is used to supplement
this. We all know the saying 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away' and you could
use this shake as your 'apple'. One thing about using real apple in a protein
drink is that if you leave the skin on it gives the shake a little more bitterness
and a different texture (not as nice as if you peel it). Having said that, there
are good reasons to keep the skin on your apple when you throw it in the blender.
The skin is packed with lots of nutrients that lower cholestoral and all sorts.

The bran cereal provides you with fibre, as does the apple so this shake should
keep you regular ;-D
