If you're a fan of apple pie, but you're looking for a healthier and quicker way to enjoy those comforting flavors, this Vegan Apple Pie Smoothie is just the thing you need. It's like having a slice of your favorite dessert, but in a glass!
Imagine the warm, aromatic spices of cinnamon and cloves combined with the sweet, slightly tangy taste of apples. This smoothie captures those familiar flavors that make apple pie a beloved classic. Moreover, a banana which is used in this recipe adds natural sweetness without any need to add sugar or syrups (of course, do so if you prefer a really sweet treat!).
This recipe uses straightforward and wholesome ingredients, making it easy to prepare whenever those apple pie cravings strike. You'll need a banana, an apple, non-dairy milk, some peanut butter, cinnamon, grounded cloves and some ginger.
The great thing about this smoothie is that you can easily adjust it to suit your taste preferences. It's all about making it your own.
One more thing to notice - a frozen banana is best to use in this recipe as it makes the texture much more creamy. However, you won't loose the taste by using a fresh banana, it would just loose some smoothness.
This smoothie is versatile and can be enjoyed at any time of day. It makes a fantastic breakfast option, a post-workout refresher, or a comforting dessert after dinner. Plus, it's entirely vegan, so it can satisfy your sweet tooth while aligning with your dietary choices.

You will need:
For 2 small servings
● 1 well ripened banana (frozen is best)
● 1 fresh apple
● 240 ml. of unsweetened plant-based milk (soy is used in the recipe)
● 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (I used the smooth one)
● ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
● Pinch of ground cloves
● Pinch of ground ginger
Preparation
- Peel the apple, remove the seeds and cut into chunks or cubes.
- Place the peeled banana (I used a fresh one but a frozen banana is best for this recipe as it will make the smoothie creamier), the sliced apple, the milk, the peanut butter and the spices in a bowl. Blend until smooth.
- Can be further sprinkled with cinnamon to serve.
Enjoy!
