Key Ingredients

Fresh apples: Choose firm and crisp apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for the best texture and flavor.

Frozen banana: Banana is a great source of potassium. I recommend you peel and slice a ripe banana before freezing for easier blending.

Peanut butter: You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter, depending on your preference. It adds a delicious touch of nutty flavor throughout the smoothie.

Almond milk (or any other milk): Use your preferred type of milk for the base of the smoothie.

Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a great source of protein and helps to make this smoothie nice and creamy.

Apple pie spice (cinnamon nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, and ginger): This blend of warm and aromatic spices adds depth and complexity. This smoothie has the perfect fall flavors!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen ones?

Frozen bananas help to give the smoothie a thicker and creamier consistency. You can use fresh bananas if that’s all you have on hand. Just keep in mind that the smoothie may be slightly thinner and less creamy.

Can I use a different type of nut butter?

Yes, you can use any type of nut butter you like in this recipe. Try almond butter or cashew butter for a different flavor profile.

What kind of apples should I use in a smoothie?

Honey crisp apples or gala apples make this smoothie sweet, but if you like a more sour taste, use granny smith apples.
