    Cinnamon Apple Smoothie

    This smoothie is so good.

    It makes for a great twist on the traditional green smoothie and is fun for something a little bit different.

    You are going to need:

    • apples 
    • banana 
    • oat milk 
    • rolled oats
    • almond butter
    • chia seeds
    • pitted dates (optional for sweetness)
    • ground cinnamon
    • ground ginger
    • ground nutmeg
    • homemade granola or crushed homemade graham crackers for topping (optional)
    Ingredients for an apple smoothie added to the jug of a high speed blender
    Frozen bananas and frozen apples make this smoothie nice and cold.

    Simply add everything to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.

    Top with some granola or crushed graham crackers if you like a bit of crunch with your smoothie.

    I highly recommend a Vitamix smoothie if you are a regular smoothie drinker. They can be quite pricey but are definitely worth it if you like a nice smooth smoothie without having to do multiple blends.

    Tips For The Best Apple Smoothie

    Do The Apples Have To Be Frozen?

    Technically no, but the smoothie will not get cold enough and you will need to counter this by adding at least a cup full of ice.

    There is nothing worse than a thick warm smoothie.

    Do I Have To Peel The Apples?

    Technically no, but the smoothie won't be as smooth as it will be without the peel.

    If you do not peel the apples then expect a bit of graininess to the smoothie.

    Do I Have To Add The Dates To The Apple Smoothie?

    No.

    Whether or not you add the dates will depend on the sweetness of your apples, and how sweet you like your smoothie.

    I used Honey Crisp apples for this the first time, and it definitely did not need any dates as it was sweet enough.

    Another time, I use a more tart apple, and the dates were definitely needed to even out the flavors.

    I recommend making the smoothie, tasting for sweetness and then adjusting where necessary.

    What Is The Best Way To Top An Apple Pie Smoothie?

    You definitely do not need to add anything to the top of your smoothie.

    However, if you like a bit of texture to your smoothie then consider adding one of the following:

    • Some granola or muesli
    • Some crushed Graham Cracker or another cookie
    • A sprinkle of chia seeds
    • A sprinkle of crushed nuts
    • A sprinkle of pumpkin or sunflower seeds

    If you prefer a completely smooth recipe, then just enjoy your Apple Pie Smoothie as is, no need for optional extras.

    You could always go all out and crumble some apple spice cookies on top for something a little more decadent.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 apples peeled, chopped and frozen (see notes)
    • 1 banana chopped and frozen
    • 2 cups oat milk or milk of choice
    • 3 tbsp rolled oats
    • 1 tablespoon almond butter
    • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

    Instructions
     

    • Add all of the ingredients, except for the granola, to a high speed blender, and blend until combined and creamy.
    • Pour into a cup to serve, add some granola or cruched graham crackers on top. Enjoy

    Notes

    This recipe makes 4 small serves or 2 large serves.
    Peel and chop your apples the night before and freeze them. If you do not have frozen apples, you can use fresh but you will have to add some ice, otherwise, the smoothie will not be cold enough.
    If you want to add the peel of the apple you can, however, there will be an element of graininess to the smoothie that would not be there if the apples were peeled.
    I topped this smoothie with some homemade vegan graham crackers.

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
