Smoothies Make the Best Desserts!
Lately I’ve been drinking my desserts. No. Not like that! Though there isn’t anything wrong with that. I’m talking about smoothies. I can’t say enough good things about my Vitamix
Tips for Healthy Smoothies!
My number one tip for creating healthy smoothies is to stock your freezer! When fruits and vegetables go on sale, stock up! My freezer is packed now with possible smoothie ingredients. I keep all sorts of frozen fruit and bags of frozen spinach, but for this smoothie, all you need are ice cubes to make it cold and frosty.
Some of my favorite fruits to keep in the freezer for smoothies: bananas, mangoes, strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries and pineapple. I also keep spinach and kale.
Apple Pie Smoothie
The other ingredient that I always keep in my fridge for smoothies is plain yogurt. It was perfect for this smoothie from Vitamix. The recipe calls for vanilla yogurt, but a little splash of vanilla extract makes my plain yogurt vanilla in a snap. I buy plain instead of vanilla so that it can also be used for a substitute for sour cream if I need to. All you need for this smoothie is apples, vanilla yogurt (or plain with vanilla extract), brown sugar, apple pie spice and ice cubes!

Love this simple, easy apple pie smoothie! It’s so perfect for when I’m craving fall flavors!
This looks amazing! Right now my baby is obsessed with puree apple so I can’t wait to share this smoothie with her!
I bet the kids go crazy for this smoothie! Great recipe…thanks for sharing! 🙂
This is one of my favourite smoothies. All the flavour of apple pie without all the calories.
When I drink my dessert, it’s usually whiskey. Hahahaha… But I could definitely be down for an apple pie in smoothie form, too! Yum!
We will love your Apple Pie Smoothie, it looks delicious! Hope you are having a great day and thanks so much for sharing your awesome post with us at Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I love how simple this is, but it’s so original. I’m always looking for new smoothie ideas. I’m trying this one soon.
What a lovely, healthier dessert, Pam! I hope you will share this with us at Hearth and Soul this week 🙂 Pinning!
I have never made a smoothie, but this one sounds worth the effort.
Oh, what a great idea! I love apples.
Apple Pie Smoothie. It’s tempting. Especially if it’s for dessert!
Apple smoothie sounds good especially at this time of the year. Happy Foodie Friends Friday link party!
Now that’s a clever idea! I haven’t time to make a smoothie on a work morning and I’m trying to be healthier and not eat dessert every night although I am keen to try the frozen banana and strawberry *ice cream* I saw on Pinterest. Obviously apple pie spice is a pre mixed combination. As we don’t get that here do you know what spices are used – cinnamon obviously but the others?
If you google it, it’s easy to make. The recipes vary, but an easy one is just cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom.
Sounds yummy! Sounds like the perfect way to start the day!
An Apple Pie in Smoothie form, this is genius! I have been craving apple pie, but I may just have this instead. Thanks for sharing.
