INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR AN APPLE PIE SMOOTHIE:

HOW TO MAKE AN APPLE PIE SMOOTHIE
This apple smoothie is SO easy to make! Just add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend on high until completely smooth. Add more liquid if needed.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Freeze the chopped apples for a super cold and thick smoothie. It’s best to freeze them on a tray first before transferring them to a freezer bag so they won’t clump together.
- For a thicker smoothie, use 1/4 cup less milk. Add as needed if it’s too thick.
SUBSTITUTE IDEAS:
- Instead of almond butter, you can use cashew, walnut, sunflower seed, or macadamia butter. Peanut butter works, but the flavor really comes through.
- Instead of flaxseeds, you can use chia or hemp seeds.
- If you don’t have medjool dates, you can use deglet dates, but just add a few more because they are smaller.
ADD-IN IDEAS:
- Vanilla extract
- Rolled oats
- Non-dairy yogurt
- Plant-based protein powder
- Maple syrup
- Ground ginger (just a pinch!)
- Walnuts
TOPPING IDEAS:
- Coconut whipped cream
- Cinnamon stick
- Ground cinnamon (doubles as a straw!)
- Coconut flakes

Mmmm, now this is my kind of apple pie! I’m not a pie person when it comes to normal “pie form” but when it’s in the form of a smoothie, bar, bite, oatmeal, granola, I’m always game!

Thank you, Rebecca. I agree, I gravitate towards the healthier versions, too. Apple Pie Oatmeal sounds perfect right now 🙂
