A cozy, dessert-style smoothie with real benefits
This smoothie blends crisp apple, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, and a drizzle of natural syrup into a creamy mix that feels like a fall treat. It’s smooth, subtly sweet, and spiced just enough to feel comforting without being heavy. At the center is Restore, a nutrient-dense supplement available in Professional Whey, Professional Veggie, and Non-Professional Veggie formulas.
It’s the kind of smoothie that feels like a treat but works like a wellness boost. Whether you’re looking for a midday reset or something to support digestion, energy, and overall balance, Restore turns this smoothie into more than just a snack. It’s both indulgent and functional, in the best possible way.

Why This Smoothie Works
Dessert without guilt: The natural sweetness from apple, banana, and date or maple syrup gives it a treat-like feel, while Restore anchors the drink in functional nutrition.
Creamy texture + protein: Restore supplies protein, plus bioavailable and methylated nutrients that help support muscle repair, cell function, and daily balance.
Digestive support: Formulations of Restore include digestive enzymes that aid in protein breakdown and nutrient absorption. Ingredients like yogurt and apple add fiber and gut-friendly compounds.
Adaptable choice: With dairy and dairy‑free versions of milk and Restore available, this smoothie fits into many dietary preferences without losing flavor or function.
FAQs
Is this smoothie high in sugar?
It contains natural sugars from fruit and a touch of syrup. The exact sugar content depends upon the choice of milk and the amount of syrup. Using lower-sugar milk (such as unsweetened almond) and moderating syrup helps keep it balanced.
Can I use apple without peeling it?
Yes. If the apple is organic and well-washed, leaving the peel adds fiber and nutrients.
Can this be a meal replacement?
It could serve as a light meal substitute, especially because Restore adds protein and nutrients. Add seeds or greens to bump fiber or micronutrients if desired.
Does Restore affect digestion in smoothies like this?
Yes. The digestive enzymes in Restore support the breakdown of protein and absorption of nutrients, helping ease digestion when combined with fiber and fruit.
Can people with dairy intolerance use this smoothie?
Yes. Use dairy‑free yogurt and plant-based milk along with the Veggie Restore option to make it lactose‑free and more comfortable for sensitive digestion.
How stable is this smoothie if made ahead?
Best consumed fresh. If preparing in advance, blend without ice, store in a sealed container in the refrigerator, shake or blend briefly before drinking. Expect some separation.
