I’ve been wanting to try this apple pie smoothie for some time now but it wasn’t until this week that I took the plunge.
The weather shifted to hinting of fall and suddenly I was ready for all things autumn!
The great thing about this smoothie is that while it has obvious “dreaming of fall” flavor it is still a nice cool drink on a warm “still summer” day.
Even if you are in the hotter regions and fall seems a long ways away, you can whip up this smoothie and imagine it’s a crisp fall day.
Much like my apple pie gelatin, this smoothie is full of fall flavors such as apple and cinnamon with just a dash of nutmeg. Mmmm…
The smoothie starts out like your pretty standard smoothie recipe; milk, frozen banana… but things get crazy when you toss in an apple!
I didn’t think the apple would get chopped into a smooth enough texture but it did! Granted, I’ve only tested this out in my Vitamix but I think any blender will do a good job.
I personally use cashew milk for this recipe but that’s simple because I’m on a cashew milk kick right now.
I use cow’s milk or even kefir for my kiddos’ (note the milk kefir or yogurt would make this more of a tangy apple pie smoothie!)
Use whatever milk you prefer.
In case you haven’t noticed, I also like to avoid sugar when possible, so in order to make this an apple pie smoothie (because pies are sweet!) I use stevia.
I know not everyone loves stevia like I do so if you would rather, you can sub in honey instead.
If you are feeling really indulgent, you could even whip up a batch of my sugar free whipped cream and add a dollop onto of your smoothie! Apple pie smoothie ala mode…well sort of, I mean it’s not ice cream but whipped cream is pretty close!
Apple Pie Smoothie
1 cup milk of your choice
1 frozen banana
1 apple – peeled and chopped
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/32 tsp scoop stevia (that’s one “smidgen” spoon) / or 1 tbs. honey
Directions:
Place all ingredients into a blender and whirl away.
Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!
Yum! I’ve never thought of this combination, but it sounds like my kind of smoothie : ) Can’t wait to try!
This sounds amazing, and the apples on our trees are nearly ready! I’ll give it a try. Thank you for linking up at Our Simple Homestead blog hop.

Sounds delicious and VERY fall! Thank you for sharing with us on the Art of Home-Making Mondays at Strangers & Pilgrims on Earth! 🙂
Love these flavours. Do you think it would be ok to use yogurt in place of milk?
I rarely have milk on hand but always yogurt. Appreciate your thoughts.

Of course. Yogurt is a great milk alternative to use. It will just be a bit more tangy. 🙂
