How to make Apple Smoothie?
The recipe I have shared here is the essential Apple Smoothie loaded with peanut butter and vanilla Greek yogurt flavors. I have used a higher power blender that helped me to make a smooth and creamy smoothie but regular blenders work well too. To make this smoothie you can always choose to peel the skin of the apples or keep the skin on. But always make sure to remove the core and seeds before adding them to the blender.
Following are the high-level instructions to make this drink but for detailed step-by-step instructions with photos and video, please check out the recipe card below.
- Add the ingredients - In a blender jar add the diced apple, banana, rolled oats, greek or regular yogurt, honey, peanut butter, and almond milk (make sure to remove the core and seeds of the apple before adding it to the blender)

- Pour - Open the lid and pour the Apple Smoothie into a serving glass. Now the creamy Apple Smoothie is ready for you to taste and enjoy
- Serve - Serve this filling Apple Smoothie for breakfast, or as a quick snack
Tips
- Best Apples - You can feel free to use red apples, green apples, fuji, or gala that works well for making this smoothie. Usually, green apples are slightly sour compared to other varieties so make sure to pick the variety that's ideal for you
- Variations - Adding other fruits like strawberry, mango, and apple adds extra flavor to this smoothie. You can also add veggies and greens like carrots, kale, and spinach for a healthier version of this smoothie
- Vegan Friendly - For a vegan-friendly Apple Smoothie, substitute the yogurt with any plant-based yogurt and honey with maple syrup
