So last week we shared easy cinnamon apple granola on the blog… aka apple pie in granola form, this week we are liquifying the flavours in this ridiculously easy and healthy apple pie fall smoothie.
When you pick up a big bag of apples from Costco, you try to incorporate them into as many different recipes as you can! This one is probably my favourite because it is so easy and makes hectic mornings a little (maybe a lot) less hectic. Any recipe that takes just 5 minutes to make is a win for weekday mornings in our house!
Another reason this is probably one of my favourite ways to get my “apple-a-day” requirement is that it’s got the taste of an apple pie, without all the calories. You know, all those essential fall flavours… the ones that you can smell when you imagine a freshly baked apple pie, right out of the oven. I am talking cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom, oh my!
P.S. Thank you to my hubby for being my hand model in my photos 🙂

This sounds fantastic. It’s apple season and this smoothie is definitely something that I will try. Love the texture and the flavors. Just one big YUM!
I’ve been on a smoothie kick lately, despite the cooler weather! I like to prep a big batch ahead and keep the smoothies in the fridge all week. This is gonna be perfect for fall mornings.

So much great nutrition here, and I love that it can make hectic mornings easier – who doesn’t need that?!?! What a perfect, healthy treat for fall mornings!
Yum! We make something very like this except we don’t use cardamom which is a brilliant idea. Will be adding next time we make!

I love apple pie, but have never had the patience to make it…this smoothie is a perfect substitute! I always make the exact same smoothie for breakfast, this would be a great alternative to throw into the mix

I like smoothies but I don’t usually want them for breakfast. But this smoothie makes me rethink my policy. It sounds so tasty and satisfying, especially with the apples. Great Fall recipe.

Love this recipe! Apple and Cinnamon combo is always a HIT.
I just bought a ton of almond milk on sale at the grocery store and need recipes to use it up in. I’ve been craving all things apple and pumpkin and this sounds too easy to make for a quick breakfast for the family!
