Why You’ll Love This Cinnamon Apple Pie Smoothie
Apple Pie in a Glass: This smoothie delivers all the cozy, comforting flavors of a classic apple pie but in a healthy, drinkable form. With the warmth of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger paired with the natural sweetness of apples and bananas, it’s like having dessert for breakfast—without the guilt.

Substitutions
Frozen Banana: Use ripe bananas, that are starting to get some brown spots but are not spoiled yet. Chop them up and freeze them in a Ziploc bag or an airtight container. You may be able to use frozen cauliflower instead, which will provide creaminess without a strong flavor, but I haven’t tried it out.
Oat Milk: Look for unsweetened oat milk without added sugar on the ingredient label. This will keep the recipe refined sugar-free. Swap this out with any version of sweetened, vanilla or plain oat milk, or another non-dairy milk that doesn’t have a strong flavor. Almond milk, cashew milk, soy milk or other options can work as well. Taste test the milk plain – if your enjoy the taste while it’s plain, then it’ll work well in the smoothie!
Almond Butter: Any brand of almond butter will work. For the healthiest version, opt for one where the ingredient label only contains almonds – not added sugars and oils.
Swap out the almond butter for cashew butter. I have not tried it with sunflower seed butter, but this may make a nut-free option.
Apple: While the recipe calls for a red apple, you can use a green apple for a tart twist or a honeycrisp apple for a sweeter option.
Healthy Cinnamon Apple Pie Smoothie Recipe Notes
