Start by preparing an apple by carefully peeling it with a sharp utility knife and then coring it. Make sure that the apple you are using is fresh and does not have spots on the outer surface. Moreover, be thorough while coring the apple because you will not want any seeds to be mixed into the drink. Cut the peeled apple into small pieces. You are eventually going to blend the apple pieces so there is no need to be particular about their shape.

Add apple pieces from the previous step, 1 cup low-fat strawberry yoghurt, 6 oz. frozen strawberries and 1 tbsp. of sugar to a blender. Turn on the blender and configure it to operate at medium speed. Be sure to cover the blender’s opening with a lid while the ingredients you added are being blended. Leave the blender running until its contents are smooth and no lumps remain.

Set the blender to the lowest speed setting and add 1 cup ice cubes; one at a time. Let one ice cube to blend into the mixture completely before adding the next one. As you add the ice, the apple smoothie will become thicker. Check to see if more ice cubes are required.
