Here’s why you’ll love it:

It is a guilt-free treat! The sweetness comes from the natural fruit and maple syrup which is optional.
It really tastes like apple pie! Thanks to the oatmeal, this tastes just like the well-loved, classic dessert!
It’s loaded with goodness! Apples are high on vitamin C, potassium, and Vitamin K; oatmeal provides extra fiber and energy, protein fills you up and keeps you feeling full. Cinnamon – helps control blood sugar levels and may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

What ingredients are in this Apple Pie Smoothie?

Apples: 2 whole apples are in this recipe.
Oats: gluten-free oats, uncooked.
Protein powder: you can use unflavored & unsweetened, or vanilla protein powder. Check the carbs to keep it low! I use this one (less sweet) and this one (sweeter).
Cinnamon: This spice is a must in any good apple pie!
Unsweetened almond or oat milk: The almond milk will have fewer carbs. I’ve made it both ways – both are great!
Maple syrup: optional, possibly a good idea if you’re using unsweetened protein powder, but feel free to skip it.
Toasted pecans: optional garnish, but SUCH a good idea if you have some in your pantry.

How do I make this Apple Pie Smoothie?

Pop everything into the blender.
Blend it for 1-2 minutes until everything is well blended.
Let it sit for a minute, to make sure the oatmeal is nice and soft before drinking.
Garnish with extra cinnamon, apple chunks, and toasted pecans, if desired.

What kind of apples should I use?

Any sweet apples will work! The apples we had delivered were called “sweet dessert apples” – small and very sweet. Other common apples that would work:

Gala
Golden Delicious
Pink Lady
McIntosh
Roma
Honeycrisp
Ambrosia
Red Delicious
If you prefer a bit of tartness, Granny Smith is a great option!
