    Apple pie smoothie with a text title overlay.

    All of the flavours of a comforting apple pie in an easy healthy smoothie for a snack or breakfast on the go. This Apple Pie Smoothie is a quick and delicious way to make the most of apple season. All of the taste of a pie, with less of the calories. Kids will love this apple smoothie too!

    No, I didn't throw a slice of apple pie into my blender with some milk - but it definitely tastes like it! Instead, we have combined apples with some nut butter, bananas, milk and cinnamon to make a smoothie that the whole family will love.

    Apple pie has to be one of the best desserts out there, so who wouldn't want a breakfast that tastes just like it, and is healthy too? If you are looking for some other ways to use apples, why not try our Apple Turnovers, Cinnamon Stewed Apples or Cinnamon Baked Apples.

    Why you will love it

    • Quick - This apple pie smoothie is ready in just 2 minutes.
    • Great way to get fruit into your diet - If you struggle to eat enough fruit, then smoothies are an easy way to up your intakes.
    • Tastes more indulgent than it is - You get all the flavour of an apple pie, but much lighter.
    • Kids will love it - Kids will love helping to make this, as well as drinking it.

    Ingredients needed

    All the ingredients needed for this recipe with text overlay labels.
    • Bananas - This is what helps to make the apple pie smoothie nice and thick, and also adds sweetness too. We used frozen bananas for extra thickness, and to also make it super refreshing.
    • Peanut butter - I love the flavour combination of peanut butter and apples, so it's a delicious addition to this smoothie. You could use almond or cashew butter too.
    • Apple - Any apples will work in this, but personally we like sweeter apples like Gala. If you don't have fresh apples, you can use apple sauce/puree instead.
    • Cinnamon - This is the perfect spice to go with apples. You could add some ginger and nutmeg in there too.
    • Greek yogurt - This adds lots of creaminess and helps make the smoothie taste really indulgent.
    • Milk - You can use any milk in this smoothie. Why not try whole milk, with a little coconut milk for creaminess?
    • Toppings - These are totally optional, and do make the smoothie more indulgent, but you can finish them off with some whipped cream, caramel sauce and a slice of apple.

    A full ingredients list with measurements is in the recipe card below.

    Step by step

    One: Add the banana, apples and nut butter to a blender jug.

    Three: Blend until smooth.

    Health benefits of apples

    They are a good source of fibre, potassium and vitamin C and K. Apples have also been linked to a lower risk of heart disease. One reason for this may be that apples contain soluble fibre, and this can help lower your blood cholesterol levels.

    Apples also contain polyphenols, which have antioxidant effects. However, many of these are in the peel, so if you peel the apples they they won't have the same benefits.

    Storage

    You can store any leftover smoothie in the fridge for 1-2 days. The ingredients may separate, but this is normal. Just give it a quick stir before drinking. It's always best to make this smoothie fresh - luckily it is really quick to make.

    FAQs

    How many calories are in an apple pie smoothie?

    There are 289 calories in this recipe.

    Can I use frozen apples?

    Yes, you could use frozen apples.

    Do I need to peel the apples first?

    Yes, we peeled them first as we don't like the texture of the blended apple skin.

    How do you sweeten a smoothie?

    This is sweetened with just the apples and banana. However, if you wanted it extra sweet then you could apple a little honey or maple syrup.

    How to make a vegan apple pie smoothie?

    To make this vegan, use a plant based milk and yoghurt and if you are sweetening it, make sure to use maple syrup rather than honey.

    How can I thicken a smoothie?

    To thicken this, you can add some ice and blend it up with everything. It will give you more of a slushy texture though. You could also blend up some oats with it - this will make it more filling too.

    Extra tips

    • We added cinnamon to this smoothie, but give it a real autumn smoothie by using some nutmeg and ground ginger too.
    • You can use any milk you like for this. We found almond milk gave it a real nutty flavour, but dairy milk or soy would work too.
    • The world is your oyster when it comes to nut butters in this. Peanut, almond, cashew, hazelnut - they all go really well with apple.
    • What made a really nice change was using half an apple and half a pear to make a smoothie.
    • You can turn this in to a smoothie bowl by making it a little thicker. Pour it in to a bowl and then load it with toppings.
    • If you want to make this more indulgent, then top it with some whipped cream and caramel sauce, like we have in the photos.

      I always start my smoothies with frozen banana - it's the best thickener and sweetener. I know I'd love this apple pie smoothie. I'll have to try it.

      That looks delicious! I wish I had one right now! Apple pie is my favorite! (I'm not sure the idea of putting a piece in the blender with milk is a half bad idea!! Lol!)

      What vegan alternative would you recommend for the greek yogurt? I've found soy and coconut yogurts but the texture is a bit different than the greek.

      can I ask how you calculate the calories? I would have thought a banana was approx 100 calories and a tbsp almond butter another 100 so that's 400 before the other ingredients.

      Sounds amazing! There's a milkshake place near me that does an apple pie milkshake (that actually is apple pie in a milkshake) but it's so very, very bad for you. This sounds like the alternative I've been waiting for :)

      Breakfast that tastes like apple pie? SOLD! This would be great for July 4th breakfast as well. I might add some nutmeg in with the cinnamon too.
