Ingredients for apple pie smoothie

• Sweet apple – The star of the show! These will add not only a delicious apple flavor, but will also add fiber and vitamins.
• Greek yogurt – Greek yogurt will make the apple pie smoothie rich and creamy, and add some protein as well!
• Rolled oats – Rolled oats will bulk up the smoothie to be thick and delicious. 
• Milk – Milk will provide moisture and help the apple pie smoothie reach a perfect consistency. 
• Spices – I’ve used a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg here for a balance of sweetness and warmth. 
• Vanilla extract – Vanilla extract will add a subtle sweetness to the smoothie. 
• Maple syrup – Maple syrup will add a maple flavor and a rich sweetness. 

What is Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is simply yogurt that has been strained to remove the whey, which is what makes it so thick and delicious!

It’s perfect for this apple pie smoothie because it doesn’t have any of that extra whey that could make the smoothie watered down.

You can find Greek yogurt in the grocery store right next to the regular yogurt.

I’ve used plain Greek yogurt here to be mindful of the sugar content, but feel free to use vanilla or even maple-flavored yogurt here if you prefer!

Apple varieties

In your local grocery store, there’s usually a huge variety of apples to choose from!

So how do you know which ones will be best for these apple pie smoothies?

My favorite type of apple to use for this recipe is gala, pink lady, or Honeycrisp because they are sweet, tangy, and full of yummy apple flavor. 

I would stay away from McIntosh, Fuji, or Red Delicious. These are often mealy apples, with a watery-apple flavor, and not very good to use in this application.
