You'll love this delicious yet healthy Apple Smoothie!  A dairy-free and a vegan smoothie with ingredients that make it taste like apple pie! 

Even though this is an apple smoothie without yogurt, it still blends up with the ultimate texture.

This is one of my favorite fall smoothies, but it's really good at any time of the year! 

This creamy nut-free and oat-free smoothie tastes like dessert in a glass.

The ingredients you'll need:

  • Apples
  • Dates
  • Frozen banana
  • Dairy-free milk
  • Cinnamon

That's it!  There are a few other suggestions and substitutions below, but they are totally optional.

How to make an apple smoothie:

  1. Gather and measure the ingredients.

2 - Add all the ingredients to a blender.  I usually use a high powered blender (new acquisition), but any quality good powered blender will work fine!

3- Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy!  

4- Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Top tips for making this smoothie:

  • If not using a frozen banana (or don't have time to freeze), add some ice cubes.
  • Add a teaspoon of ground flaxseed to thicken it (it is best to ground them before adding to a smoothie).
  • Substitute applesauce for the apples - about 1/2 cup.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg
  • Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for a sweeter smoothie.
  • Drizzle with nut butter.
  • Garnish with chopped apples, chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Types of apples:

I usually use an apple that is in the current season for this smoothie.  You can use any type of apple you'd like.  Below are some apple varieties and descriptions.

  • Honeycrisp - crisp and distinctly sweet, great fall flavor.
  • Fuji - crunchy and super sweet
  • Gala - crisp and sweet
  • Granny Smith - crunchy and tart
  • Red Delicious - crunchy and mildly sweet
  • Golden Delicious - crisp and sweet

Other smoothies to try:

  • Spinach Apple Smoothie
  • Kale Apple Smoothie
  • Anti-inflammatory Smoothie
  • Strawberry Smoothie
  • Blueberry Pineapple Smoothie

Apple recipes:

  • Paleo Apple Crisp
  • Applesauce Recipe
  • Butternut Squash and Apple Soup

    Can you please tell me what "coconut cream, about 1/2" means? Do you mean a half-cup of coconut cream? Looking forward to trying this.

      Hi Marcy! I've updated the recipe to reflect about 1/8 cup (two tablespoons) of coconut cream, which is what I've found works really well. Hope you enjoy!

    My kids are gonna be all over this! Best part … I've got all the ingredients here! YAY!!

    Gluten-free and dairy-free are difficult lifestyles - gluten and milk are in so many things - you are totally right! But once you get the hang of it, you'll feel like you've got tons of choices! If anyone can this - it's you!! So glad you are back - can't wait to see what you come up with! 🙂

    This sounds delicious! I always think I feel better when I eat less dairy, so I'm glad it's working out for you! I wish cheese was less delicious, then I might have better luck.
