IS AN APPLE PIE SMOOTHIE HEALTHY?

Yes! My apple smoothie recipe is a very healthy recipe! I made my apple smoothie with no banana by request, but if you like bananas definitely include them because they are healthy too!

Let's look at the benefits of the apple smoothie ingredients:

• Apples- contain gut healthy fiber that will help you poop easier and lose weight!
• Rolled (old fashioned) oats- more excellent fiber for your gut health.
• Yogurt- healthy bacteria for your gut, good fats for your metabolism and some protein!
• Cinnamon- an age old anti-inflammatory ingredient.
• Milk- great for calcium, vitamin D, healthy fats, and protein. Always choose unsweetened milk.
• Dates- essential microminerals for healthy metabolism.

WHAT TO PUT IN SMOOTHIES TO MAKE THEM FILLING

Ever drink a smoothie only to be hungry an hour later? Here are some registered dietitian tips on how to make your smoothie more filling:

1. Add fiber! Fruits are excellent for antioxidants and vitamins, however not all fruits are super high in fiber. Add in high fiber ingredients like 2 tablespoons flax seeds, chia seeds, or hemp seeds. Or you can add ¼ cup rolled oats, almonds, cashews, or walnuts.
2. Add fat! Long ago people thought fat made you fat.. we were very wrong. Fat is excellent for your health. Add in whole milk yogurt, coconut cream, coconut flakes, any nuts, or any seeds.
3. Include protein! Fruit blended with coconut water is fine as a snack.. but if you want a balanced smoothie you can eat as breakfast you also need protein! You can use yogurt, nuts, seeds, nut butters, and milk.

Notice how some of the whole food ingredients overlap? Yogurt has healthy fats and protein. Nuts & seeds give you healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Use any ingredients that you like, whole foods are always better than processed powders!

FAQ'S

Frequently asked questions about my healthy apple smoothie recipe.

How do I make my apple smoothie sweeter?

Make sure to use a sweet apple variety like gala or golden delicious. Tart apples, like granny smith, which are typically used in baking, will not give you a sweet smoothie.

To make your smoothie even sweeter add another pitted date, or half an extra ripe banana.

Can apples be blended?

Yes! Apples can be blended into any smoothie that you like. Apples contain prebiotic fibers that are excellent for gut health and weight loss. Rosemary Squires, Registered Dietitian

Are apples good in protein shakes?

Yes! Apples add fiber and antioxidants to your protein shake. For the sweetest flavor, be sure to choose a sweet apple variety like honey crisp, gala, or golden delicious.

How do I make an apple pie smoothie vegan?

For a vegan friendly smoothie, substitute the whole milk yogurt with plant based yogurt or coconut cream. All other smoothie ingredients are vegan.

You can also make this apple pie smoothie without yogurt if you're not a yogurt fan it is just as good without!

How do I make an apple pie smoothie bowl instead?

Want a thick delicious apple pie smoothie bowl? Simply leave the milk out! Keep blending until your smoothie bowl is totally creamy, don't be tempted to add in milk or it will come out watery.
