APPLE HEALTH BENEFITS AND FUN FACTS
There is a reason they say “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Apples are rich in immune system supporting antioxidants and fiber, particularly pectin, a highly soluble and viscous fiber which combats many stress factors in our bodies.
Soluble fibers help control blood sugar levels, and bind with fats in the intestines, reducing cholesterol through their elimination.
While store bought ciders are filtered, strained, pasteurized, and who knows what else, our recipe uses the whole fruit, allowing you to get the the fiber your body wants and the sweet flavor your tastebuds crave!
Combine this with cinnamon, which has also been linked to blood sugar regulation and the reduction of LDL cholersterol levels, and you are literally drinking ‘To your health.’ Cheers!
I am interested to know how many people this recipe will serve. It looks good, but I want to serve cold to a couple hundred people.
Hi Marjorie! It makes about 5-5.5 cups I believe. You might want to do a batch to test and make sure. Also if you’re serving cold you will only need to blend for 1.5-2 minutes or enough to not have any grit from the apple. 1/4 tsp of vanilla is nice with this one too. Have a great party! ~Tarashaun

SO good on a snowy day in February.
Totally! Perfect drink to warm you up.
I love this recipe. I can’t understand why anyone would pay $6.99 for a bottle of apple cider when it’s so easy to do in the Blendtec ? I make this whenever I want a light yummy juice that makes me feel like I’m curling up next to the fire watching the snow fall. Only difference is I use agave nectar & a splash of pure vanilla
how cool!
is this my recipe?
If not its really similar, just add a 1/4 tsp. of pure vanilla !
YES!! We need to test it again with vanilla! 🙂
