Vegan Cinnamon Apple Pie Smoothie

Vegan Apple Pie Smoothie

Sweet + spiced = everything nice.

I used a similar line in this post just the other day but hey, it's true. So let's just keep on speaking the truth, alright? And the truth, my gorgeous blog friends = this creamy, cinnamon-dusted, apple-woven-throughout smoothie. Sometimes I think I get carried away with the hyphenated adjectives. Yes? No? Yes. I do. I'll admit it. But I love 'em.

Sometimes I also get distracted, and my most highly-distracting distractions are as follows: grammatical affinities, "vegan pizza" boards on Pinterest, almond butter, flash sales at J Crew and/or Anthropologie, hilarious cat/dog videos on YouTube, Dan's handsomeness/slowly-growing Movember Moustache, and this vegan cinnamon apple pie smoothie...

Vegan Apple Pie Smoothie

Looks like a smoothie and is a smoothie. Tastes like apple pie.

At this point, we're within an arm's reach of a vegan Thanksgiving spread, and I'm certainly not suggesting something ridiculous like serving this smoothie for dessert. That would be against the rules. The internal rules of our minds and bodies that strive to maintain balance between all things, including healthy choices and treats. Go on and enjoy a slice of pie, and make sure you top it with coconut whipped cream instead of guilt. Most of us have taken a trip or two to shame, guilt, and all-around icky feelings after enjoying a meal; however, guilt is not welcome anywhere near our plates, forks, spoons, or knives. And it's certainly not welcome in our hearts. Move on, guilt. You've been replaced by self-love.

...insert fantastically-good, slightly-cheesy vibes here...

When should you have this vegan cinnamon apple pie smoothie? Whenever you feel like it.

To make it, you'll simply toss a frozen banana or two, a peeled apple, almond milk, almond butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a blender. After blending to perfection in a quick minute, you'll pour this apple-cinnamon smoothie into a glass, and sprinkle with the toppings that suit your fancy. Chia seeds and cinnamon suited my fancy on the day I photographed this recipe, so there you have it.

To make this vegan cinnamon apple pie smoothie, simply toss a frozen banana or two, a peeled apple, almond milk, almond butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a blender. Once blended, pour this apple-cinnamon smoothie into a glass, and sprinkle with the toppings that suit your fancy. I love a few pinches of ground cinnamon and a sprinkle of shelled hemp seeds.

    Absolutely delicious! Just discovered this website and this is the first recipe I have tried off it, so impressed! Has anybody tried it with maca powder for extra energy?

      Hi, Clare! I'm so glad that enjoyed this smoothie. It's one of my favorites! I haven't tried adding maca powder to it, but as a maca lover, I would definitely give it a try. I normally add 1 tbsp of maca to smoothies, but I would probably start with 1 teaspoon and go from there to ensure that the maca doesn't immediately take over the overall flavor. I hope this helps, and I'd love to hear your results if you give it a try!

        Made it with the maca, could barely taste it but still got that great energy from it so definitely a win-win
