How to Make a Healthy Apple Pie Smoothie

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UC Berkeley chapter.

High school Saturday morning brunches always included my mom’s famous apple pie smoothie. Sweet, creamy, and amazingly healthy compared to the real dessert, this smoothie is the perfect way to indulge in a treat before it is even noon. If you’re a fan of the all-American classic apple pie, then this is the smoothie for you.

There are plenty of ways to spice up this recipe if you’re feeling more adventurous than the classic, simple apple pie. You could you top your smoothie with crumbled graham cracker (I recommend Honey Maid), a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dollop of whipped cream. You could also blend in some powdered ginger, cloves, or baked apple slices. Whether you’re enjoying this smoothie as a breakfast treat or a late night dessert, there’s no way to go wrong.
