Create these easy and healthy Apple Pie Smoothies with ingredients you already have on hand. The kids will love them and you might be able to pass them off as dessert if you are sneaky enough!
Yes, I said it! You could try to pass this smoothie off as a dessert to the kids! It tastes just like an apple pie without all hard work or fattening ingredients. I know that you can easily trick yourself into believing this is dessert…especially on a hot summer day. So instead of slaving away in the kitchen making an apple pie for your holiday parties…whip up a big batch of these Apple Pie Smoothies.
I love the look of this apple smoothie. I love seeing all the red flakes of apple peel in the smoothie. It reminds me that it’s full of all that fiber and yummy fruit and not just apple juice. Also, using a high-quality blender is always a bonus and the ingredients will get broken up super fine instead of leaving a bunch of lumps of apple or ice.

This is a good recipe to try. It was a little too sweet for me but the kids loved it. I would probably add honey or banana to it. The consistency is really thick but other that it’s pretty good and it only took about 5 min.
