Apple Pie Smoothie Recipe
This smoothie tastes remarkably like a slice of pie but uses whole ingredients to keep you energized.
Ingredients
Category Ingredient Quantity
Base Chopped Apple (Sweet variety like Gala or Fuji) 1 medium
Creaminess Greek Yogurt (Plain or Vanilla) 1/2 cup
Liquid Almond Milk (or any milk of choice) 1 cup
Texture Rolled Oats 1/4 cup
Sweetener Maple Syrup or 1 Medjool Date 1 tsp (to taste)
Spice Ground Cinnamon 1/2 tsp
Extra Vanilla Extract 1/4 tsp
Ice Ice Cubes 1/2 cup
Instructions
Prep the Apple: Wash the apple well. You can leave the skin on (as seen by the small red flecks in your image) for extra fiber and nutrients. Core and chop it into small chunks.
Layer the Blender: Add the liquid first (milk), followed by the yogurt, oats, spices, and finally the frozen/solid items like apples and ice. This helps the blender blades move smoothly.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the oats are completely pulverized and the mixture is creamy.
Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder, toss in another ice cube.
Serve: Pour into a tall glass—similar to the one in your photo—and top with a tiny pinch of cinnamon.
Pro Tips for the Best Flavor
The Apple Matters: For a sweeter “pie” taste, use Honeycrisp or Gala. For a tart kick, try a Granny Smith.
The “Crust” Secret: The rolled oats in this recipe provide a “biscuity” flavor that mimics the pie crust.
Boost It: Add a tablespoon of almond butter for healthy fats and an even richer texture.
