Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 sweet apple cored and quartered or chopped
  • 1 cup plain unsweetened soy milk or almond milk
  • 1 tbsp almond butter or tahini
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 pitted Medjool dates

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, and enjoy!

Notes

Storage Directions 
Apple smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, so I don't recommend refrigerating or storing leftovers for longer than an hour, should you have them.
Recommended Variations
    • Change Up the Fruit: For a tart smoothie, use a Granny Smith or Braeburn apple. Enjoy another favorite fall flavor by using a ripe Bartlett or D'Anjou pear instead of an apple.
    • Protein Power-Up: Stay full all morning long or recover from a workout by adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
    • Add Your Greens: Blend in 1-2 cups of your favorite baby greens, such as spinach or kale, to add extra nutrition to your simple apple smoothie.
    • Make It a Smoothie Bowl: Reduce the milk to 1/2 cup and add 1-2 chunks of frozen banana for a scoopable apple cinnamon smoothie, perfect for chopping with chopped apples, cinnamon, and granola!
    • Opt for Oats: For a fiber and delicious plant-based protein boost, blend in a few tablespoons of old-fashioned oats.
    • Extra Creamy: Enhance the incredible mouthfeel of this smoothie by blending in 1 tablespoon of coconut milk or a chunk or two of frozen bananas.
    • Add Healthy Fats: Boost the nutritional profile of this apple smoothie recipe by blending in 1 tablespoon of chia, flax, or hemp seed.
