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 (like this healthy apple bundt cake), but sometimes I just want to make something easy. As in, five minutes and done. This apple smoothie recipe is just the thing for days like those.

How to Make Apple Smoothies

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. But any milk will do if you have another preference.

  7. I attempted to make the coconut milk using shredded coconut.
    It is fairly oily and I strained it through with cheesecloth.
    When I squeezed, some smooth stuff leaked through, I put it back into the water mixture.
    Was this supposed to make 4 cups cause that’s not what I got…
    An now looking at this milk, I have pieces of this creamy stuff that just sits there.
    I this the way it’s supposed to look?

    The milk looks cloudy.
    And I I make this shake now, could it stay in the fridge until later later tonight after dinner?
    Or is it gonna water down?

    • Louise, you can definitely leave the smoothie in the fridge for a day or two. As far as the homemade coconut milk, some people don’t even strain it at all. It’s just a matter of personal preference. If things are separating, you can shake it up or put it back in the blender to mix some more. How much did the recipe yield for you? Did you use 4 cups of water?

      • Thanks for getting back to me, you know I measured it and it does yield 4 cups.
        Sorry about that,
        Is it supposed to look watery because the photo that you have posted looks like the milk is creamy not watery.
        Or should I try using the coconut cans for now.

        Thanks

      • Louise, canned coconut milk usually contains thickeners (e.g. guar gum), so I don’t recommend it. With a high-powered blender, homemade coconut milk is somewhere between watery and creamy. If you’re looking for a very creamy result, use fresh coconut. It’s delicious!
