    Apple Pie Smoothie

    Published Sep 22, 2013 · Modified Feb 15, 2022 · by Alexis Joseph · 36 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    I wanted to think of a super fun name for this concoction. Is it a smoothie? Is it a shake? Is there actually a difference?

    applesmoothie2

    I'm really not quite sure. What I do know is that this tastes like apple pie in a glass, minus all the partially hydrogenated oil (trans fat) typically hidden in pie crust and cups on cups of sugar in the filling. It's thick, it's creamy, it's sweet, it's nutty.  With ten grams of filling fiber, five grams of protein and only 238 calories, this would be absolutely perfect for breakfast.  I actually chugged it after a workout followed by ezekiel toast with avocado, scrambled eggs and some sautéed broccoli.

    The oats, walnuts and flax give that nutty crust taste and texture while the apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla almond milk create the token apple pie flavor and sweetness. If you use a sweet apple, you shouldn't have to add much additional sweetener. K

    eep it mind that the sugar content in the recipe is primarily the 16 grams of natural sugar found in apples, so don't fret over the 19 grams of sugar. (I did not include the optional added sweetener in the nutrition calculations.) I used a Gala apple, so I only added two drops of Trader Joe's liquid stevia. Feel free to add a bit of pure maple syrup or honey to taste depending on what kind of apple you have on hand.

    applesmoothie1

    In all honesty, I have really been neglecting smoothies lately. I'm officially in a smoothie rut. Does anyone else feel the same?  This rut made me realize how much I rely on green smoothies as a source of greens for the day. I'm not one to sauté a big bunch of spinach, so on days when I don't make salads, I do rely heavily on smoothies for my greens.

    I honestly just haven't been in the mood for those fruity blueberry banana flavors. After I worked out yesterday, I whipped this up in an attempt to use up a sad looking Gala apple and to get my body some much needed fiber. It tasted fabulous, and I'll definitely be adding a huge handful of spinach to the mix next to I make it (AKA tomorrow).

    On another note, is anyone else dying to go apple picking?? The girls I babysit just went to Lynd fruit farm, and the honey-crisp apples were hands down the best I had ever tasted. I'm totally going there next weekend. Then I'll come home and make a gigantic batch of fluffy apple cider pancakes. They's so fluffy I'm gonna dieeeeeeeee.

    Go ahead and take a sip of fall.  I dare ya.

      I love this whole make a pie flavored smoothie thing! It's just the best idea because who doesn't want pie for breakfast?! And I would LOVE to go apple picking but I live in Texas...and we don't have too many apple orchards. Lame.

      MMM fall smoothie? This is perfect since I live in Fla. and it's 90 right now (and raining). I love the ingredients in this also... I have all of them on hand so I think I'll be making this soon. Side note: I want to go apple picking SO bad!

      Mental note not to check your blog whilst eating breakfast at uni. My eggs feel to unappetising and I have no access to a blender.

      This looks amazing and I cannot wait to make it- Who would have thought to blend half those ingredients! thanks buddy!

      Don't hate me but I went apple picking this weekend! I have so many golden delicious that will be making their way into those pancakes ASAP.

      Also this recipe is the only exception I plan to make to my all pumpkin diet (besides those pancakes of course!)

      This looks awesome! I'm on such an apple kick now that it's fall.

      Do you have a really high powered blender? I've never tried putting apple in my smoothies before because I'm not sure if my normal blender can handle it!

        I have a Nutribullet. I'm not sure how well they'll blend up in a regular blender, but it's worth a try! If it doesn't work, you could always try applesauce.

      I've been thinking about putting apples into a smoothie for a while, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I was a bit wary of the texture, but since it has your seal of approval, I am absolutely going to give it a try. Pie for breakfast sounds great to me!

      This looks yummy but my cheap-o blender might struggle with the apple pieces! I'm saving up for a new one... I was in a smoothie rut for awhile as well but I just got Sunwarrior protein powder and now I'm obsessed all over again.

        I used my nutribullet, and it surprisingly blended up really well! You could try applesauce if a whole apple wasn't cutting it. Love Sunwarrior!!

      SO glad you posted this recipe- it looked (and still does) heavenly on Instagram! Given my consumption of apples on a regular basis, I almost kicking myself for not turning them into a smoothie...yet! Bookmarking this to make later this week- thank you, my friend :)! Random question- do you think freezing the apples would make a difference to the creaminess (like frozen bananas do)?

        Glad you appreciated the Insta teaser 🙂 Let me know if you try it out! Good call on using frozen apples--that sounds even better! I'll try it next time and let you know. That would eliminate the need for ice, too!

            fabulous! thanks for reporting back. I just made a smoothie after I worked out with one small green apple, one tbsp almond butter, 1 tsp chia seeds, a couple frozen banana chunks and a huge handful of spinach. It was nice and tart and super delish as well! I'm sure the apple pie version would be just as good with spinach...I can never even taste it!
