How to make this apple smoothie
Smoothies are possibly the easiest thing to make. Just simply place all the ingredients in a blender and whirl away until the desired consistency is reached.
TIP: it’s best to pour any liquid in first, followed by the rest of the ingredients. Keeping the liquids on the bottom allows the blender to create a “vortex,” easily pulling down the fruit that is layered above it, and preventing it from getting caught in the blender’s blades. Start your blender on low and then increase to high speed.
How to freeze apples
This apple pie smoothie recipe calls for frozen apples. You can buy them frozen, but it’s not necessary since they’re so easy to freeze yourself!
- Peel and core the apple.
- Cut the apple into slices or small chunks.
- To prevent browning, combine 1 cup of cold water with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and soak the apple pieces in it for about 5 minutes. (If you squeeze the lemon juice directly on the apples, they will end up tasting really lemony.)
- Drain the apple from the lemon juice bath and pat dry.
- Arrange on a large baking sheet, without them touching.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, then transfer to a freezer-safe plastic bag to freeze completely. Label with the contents and date.
Properly stored, frozen apples will maintain best quality for about 9 months in the freezer!
What type of apple should I use?
Sweeter apples such as Fujis or Galas are more likely to hold their flavor than tart varieties, but you can use any type of apple for this smoothie recipe, so just pick your favorite!
It’s soooooo goooood. I’m in love!

This is an awesome recipe! I have modified it though! Instead of frozen yogurt, I freeze vanilla almond yogurt. I remove it from the freezer about 1 – 1/2 hours before I plan on making the smoothie! I cut up the yogurt cut up the yogurt in the container if needed. Then I make my smoothie as per the recipe. This eliminates the dairy and also makes it a little purer! Comes out great!
That sounds wonderful. I’m going to have to make this for my dad and let him be the judge, though. He’s crazy about his apple pie. I might ad some graham cracker crumbs or something to it to mimic pie crust too.
I think the rootbeer/banana would be also good with a little Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup…like from Torani of DaVinci what they use in coffee shops….
Wow this is such a fabulous idea! I want one now!
Now I’m thinking I just need to turn all of my favorite desserts into smoothies…so I can declare them health foods and then eat them nonstop. (Hint – red velvet smoothie. Get on it.)
That sounds sooo awesome! Bookmarking and trying for sure :)
Happy Blogging!
Those straws are so cute! I love a good smoothie recipe.
