Is Apple Pie Smoothie Healthy?

Yes, our apple pie smoothie recipe is healthy. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Nutritional Value

• 182 calories
• 1.9 g saturated fat

Save

This smoothie contains few calories and far less fat and sugar than an actual apple pie. In addition, the inclusion of fresh fruit will supply you with many beneficial micronutrients.

2. Benefits from Apples, Bananas, and Oats

First, let’s take a look at apples.

Apples contain significant amounts of fiber and vitamin C. Additionally, they are packed with antioxidants and polyphenols, which add to the fruit’s abundance of health benefits.

And, thanks to their high fiber and water content, apples are quite filling, making them great low-calorie snacks that fit into most weight loss schemes.

Besides apples, another important ingredient in today’s this smoothie recipe is bananas.

Bananas are relatively low in calories and good sources of soluble fiber. You may often hear people praise bananas for being filling, and they are right.

There is a particular type of soluble fiber in bananas that absorbs water in the intestine and helps slow down digestion.

Besides apples and bananas, we also added old-fashioned oats to our apple pie smoothie recipe.

What we love about oats is that they are a great source of fiber and can make you feel sated and satisfied. For this reason, we believe our smoothie would be a great fit for a healthy snack or a quick and light breakfast.

Main Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for today’s apple pie smoothie recipe:

Save

• Red apples: We often use Gala or Fuji apples, but you can use any sweet red apples you find at the grocery store.
• Bananas: Why do you need bananas in an our smoothie recipe? It’s because bananas act as a base and help create a thick and creamy texture for the smoothie. We promise it’ll work!
• Honey: You only need 1 tablespoon of honey for the whole recipe.
• Spices: Ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger are all warm spices that you can find in a typical apple pie recipe. We add them to our smoothie to replicate the flavor as closely as possible.
• Dairy: Whole milk and Greek yogurt will enhance the flavor of your smoothie, making it richer and more decadent.
• Oats: We used old-fashioned oats for today’s recipe. It will make the smoothie thicker and give you a boost of fiber as well.
• Ice: Cold smoothies tend to taste best.

Are Frozen Apples Good for Making Smoothies?

Yes, frozen apples are good for your smoothie as they chill the smoothie instantly when blended.

If you decide to freeze your apples, be sure to remove the core and cut them into chunks first. Keep them in a Ziploc bag and freeze them for at least 4 hours before you make the smoothie.

Don’t put whole apples into the freezer as they will be too hard to cut later and will not blend smoothly in your blender.

How Long Does This Smoothie Last?

Save

Smoothies made with fresh fruits generally last up to two days in the fridge. However, today’s smoothie may not last that long.

For starters, our apple pie smoothie recipe contains dairy products like whole milk and Greek yogurt, which are highly perishable. Since these two ingredients are blended with the fruits, the combination reduces the shelf life of the smoothie to about 24 hours.

That said, you can store the smoothie in the freezer for up to two weeks. Enjoy it as a healthy, fruity replacement for ice cream.
