Apple Smoothie Bowl

This apple smoothie bowl really does taste like apple pie in a smoothie! We’re sharing 2 variations, both red and green apple smoothie bowl recipes.
What You Need for an Apple Smoothie Bowl
Frozen Banana- the base of this smoothie is made with frozen bananas .
Applesauce- We love using applesauce in smoothie recipes rather than apples because the smoothie turns out so smooth rather than grainy. Fresh apples are delicious but give smoothies a grainy taste.
Try making our Instant Pot Apple Sauce or just buy your favorite no sugar added store-bought apple sauce!
Oats- The oats in the apple pie smoothie bowl add a hint of creaminess and earthiness. It helps to make sure that your smoothie bowl isn’t too sweet.
Cinnamon- Not only does cinnamon taste delicious, but it also has antioxidant properties and is said to be a great anti-inflammatory aid.
GREENS- The greens in this smoothie bowl are optional, but HIGHLY recommended! Honestly, you can’t even taste them. The benefits definitely out way not adding them in. You get a full serving of greens that will keep you fueled for wherever the day takes you!
Variations
- Banana: If you don’t love bananas, we have an excellent variation for you. Simply freeze the applesauce in an ice cube tray and use that in place of the banana!
- Dairy-free: Feel free to make this dairy-free and use a dairy-free yogurt or no yogurt at all.
- Spices: swap the cinnamon for our homemade chai spice or apple pie spice.
- Greens: try spinach or kale.
