1 (10 g) medium apple, seeded
1 piece fresh ginger root, ½" slice
4 (80 g) medjool dates, pitted
½ cup (50 g) frozen cranberries
4 cups (520 g) ice cubes

Chef's Notes

This fall-flavoured smoothie is a great alternative to plain apple cider. Balance the tart flavours of cranberries with the sweetness of dates. Any ingredients that don't fit can be added in through the lid plug opening while blending.
