How to make apple pie smoothies at home:

Let’s dive in and see how easy it is to make these delicious smoothies. They’re tasty but it’s only a few steps between you and the best treat, breakfast on the go, or dessert! Smoothies make a great breakfast when you are busy and need something you can throw in a travel mug and take with you for the morning.

Add all the ingredients to your blender and pulse for 1-2 minutes until ingredients start to break down.

Blend on high for another 30 seconds to a minute, until there are no chunks left and everything is completely smooth.

Serve immediately and top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon and crushed pecans/walnuts or granola.

Notes on making the perfect apple pie smoothie:

If you don’t have apples, replace the apples with 2 cups of apple sauce instead.

If you can’t find granny smith apples, any other type of apple will work. However, the product may be a bit sweeter in the end. Granny smith apples lend the best flavor.

Don’t have apple juice? That’s ok! Just replace with more of your milk of choice. You’ll use a total of 1 cup of milk instead of ¾ cup.

If you want to add in protein powder, you may need to adjust the amount of milk. Add up to ½ cup more of your milk of choice.

Another fun idea is to swap out the milk for a premier protein drink (or any other prepackaged protein shake)! This is a great way to get in protein and vitamins without that signature powdery taste you get with protein powder.

If the smoothie is too thick, you can add additional almond milk.

I hope you enjoy the great tastes of fall with this Apple Pie Smoothie.
