You know, all those classic fall flavours — the ones that you can smell when you imagine a freshly baked apple pie right out of the oven. I am talking about cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. So good!
- It's healthy and nutritious. Smoothies are a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. I think that this apple smoothie is the most delicious way to get in your "apple-a-day" requirement. This fall shake is a great way to start the day because it's filling and will give you energy for the morning.
Ingredient Notes
To make this healthy Apple Pie Fall Smoothie, you will need the following ingredients (full quantities in recipe card below):
- apples - any variety of apple will work for this apple smoothie, but if you can opt for something sweeter, it might be better. I recommend Gala, Honeycrisp, or Fuji apples.
- milk - I used unsweetened almond milk, but any kind of milk works whether that is dairy or non-dairy. Stick to almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk for a vegan option.
- Greek yogurt
- apple pie spices - this smoothie gets its flavoring from classic fall spices such as ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cardamom.
- honey - if needed, use honey, maple syrup, or agave to sweeten the smoothie. It’s completely optional though.
You can also customize this smoothie with other items that you have on hand. Feel free to add in some protein powder, hemp seeds, or chia seeds.
You will also need measuring cups and spoons and a blender.
How to Make the Best Apple Pie Fall Smoothie
- Blend ingredients. Throw all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and to your desired consistency.
- Sweeten. Taste and add some honey if you want to sweeten.
- Serve. Pour into tall glasses, sprinkle with some cinnamon, and enjoy!
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- How to store: Apple pie smoothies are best served immediately. If you have leftovers, store it an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Give it a stir before eating.
- How to freeze: Another way to store this fall smoothie is to freeze it. Transfer the leftover smoothie to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, take it out of the freezer and allow it to defrost slightly on the counter for about 10-15 minutes.

I agree with adding some ice to chill. I also used honey fig jam instead of maple syrup or honey and it was delish!
Jairus says
Delicious fall smoothie! Since you're not using ice cubes, I'd recommend refrigerating the apples first to keep it cold after blending. Also, cut the milk is half for a creamier smoothie.
