I love all the fall flavors, cozy sweaters, and yep… apple pie.
Sometimes fall days are a bit too warm for a cup of hot apple cider. Instead, whip up this cool and nutritious apple pie smoothie. Creamy coconut milk, plenty of cinnamon, and fresh apples give the illusion of apple pie, only drinkable. And it is acceptable for breakfast. I dare you to try it. It’s AWESOME.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the dates contribute, and can I substitute something else if I don’t have them?
The 2 pitted dates serve as the natural sweetener that mimics the sugar-sweetness of apple pie filling. The recipe specifically lists “1–2 tbsp of maple syrup or honey” as a direct substitute, so either swap works if you don’t have dates.
How do I adjust the thickness of the smoothie?
The notes say to start with 3/4 cup of light canned coconut milk and add more if you like it thinner — the recipe allows up to 1 cup, so you can dial in the consistency by adding coconut milk a splash at a time after blending.
