This healthy apple smoothie recipe is an easy way to enjoy the flavor of apple pie without all the work or sugar. Delicious fall treat!
I’m always trying to get creative during apple season. My family loves to go apple picking, so we find ourselves with an overabundance of apples this time of year.
I love all the baked goods that apples can inspire, but sometimes I just want to make something easy. As in, five minutes and done. This apple smoothie is just the thing for days like those.
You can get the delicious flavor of apple pie without all the fuss. The banana and maple syrup sweeten the apples in this smoothie, and the spices give it just the right taste. I like using coconut milk in smoothies to generate a creamy texture. And with homemade coconut milk, it doesn’t cost any more than conventional cow’s milk.
