Fall smoothies are a thing. And this apple pie-inspired one is a fun way to infuse fall flavors into a frothy, creamy, and satisfying smoothie. And it cannot be easier to make!

Gather these ingredients

Apple
Old fashioned oats
Plain almond milk
Plain Greek yogurt
Apple pie spice
Vanilla extract
Pitted dates

All ingredients on a gray background: 1 date, two apples, cinnamon, milk, vanilla extract bottle, oats, and plain yogurt.

Best apples for a smoothie

I used Gala apples for this fall smoothie but you can use any sweet apple such as Honeycrisp or Fuji. Be sure to core and seed the apple but you don’t have to peel it. I love leaving the peel on for the small flecks of color you see in the final blend.

If you’re using a high-powered blender, simply cut the apple into several wedges and add to the blender with the other ingredients. If you have an older blender, be sure to slice the apples into smaller pieces so they blend well.

This recipe is perfect for using up extra or diced frozen apples too!

Adding oats to a smoothie

If you haven’t tried oats in a smoothie, this recipe is the perfect place to start. Oats are a blank canvas and will take on the flavors you add to the mix. Though they don’t quite taste like buttery pie crust, the oats help thicken the smoothie and make it more filling.

And I’m often asked… Is it ok to put raw oats into a smoothie?

Yes. Toss raw or even toasted oats into a smoothie for extra flavor!

Tips for success

  • Plain Greek yogurt worked great to thicken the smoothie and I added a little almond milk for a hint of nutty flavor. This also helps loosen the mixture for blending. Adjust according to what you have on hand.
  • Dates are a great way to sweeten a smoothie without bananas. And you get the added bonus of a slight caramel flavor at the same time. Remember to remove the pit. And use the freshest dates you can find. Look for those that are still plump and shiny, not drying out.
  • You can buy apple pie spice or make your own by combining cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. If you only have cinnamon, that is fine too. Using all cinnamon works great for this recipe.
  • Be sure to add the vanilla extract. It seems like such a small ingredient but combined with the apple pie spice, the vanilla really delivers that dessert-like flavor!

    Yep, way too thick for my tastes. Good flavor but consistency was tough to stomach.

    This sounded good but it’s really not edible. Way too many oats I’m guessing. Just tastes like apple flavored mush. Maybe I’ll try again sometime with fewer oats.

      I find that it works better if you blend the oats into powder first and then add all the other ingredients to be blended as well.
