This dairy-free Apple Pie Smoothie is creamy and delicious, quick and easy, and the perfect fall treat.
I have been obsessed with all things pumpkin lately and, sadly, have been neglecting autumn’s other gem – the apple! I’m changing all that today with this Apple Pie Smoothie recipe! Dairy free, gluten free and sugar free for your drinking pleasure!!
Fresh Picked Apples
There are still plenty of apples to be picked fresh from the trees here in the midwest. My son has been washing down breakfast and dinner with fresh apple cider that we picked up from a farm last weekend, but we haven’t done much with our apples other than slicing them for eating with lunches or snacks.
What To Do With All Those Apples
We love adding sliced apples to sandwich fillings like in my Spicy Hummus Wrap or my Curried Tofu Salad.
For breakfast, apples are great in my Apple Pie Spiced Hot Breakfast Cereal, Apple Cinnamon Bread, and Sugar Free Apple Pie Bars.
We even add them to soups and, of course, dessert!
Banana Free Smoothie Recipe
I whipped up this yummy smoothie yesterday morning and it might be my new favorite! I usually use frozen bananas in my smoothies to make them creamy, but I didn’t want the banana flavor to interfere here. Instead, I added a tablespoon of flax meal and it worked perfectly.
There are lots of ways to thicken up a smoothie without using bananas. Some of my favorite ingredients are avocado, chia seeds, rolled oats, and nut or seed butters. You can even use cooked beans – white beans in fruit flavored smoothie and black beans in chocolate flavors – or silken tofu!
Looking for more banana-free smoothies? Try my Superfood Smoothie, Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie, and Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie. All thick and delicious and made without any bananas!
