This Apple Crisp Smoothie has all the flavors of this favorite dessert — apple, oats, and cinnamon — in a healthy smoothie that’s perfect for breakfast (or a healthier dessert!).
*If you missed my review of the KitchenAid Torrent Blender, you can find it here.
So I’m still loving my Torrent Blender. Before I received the Torrent from KitchenAid to review for you, I had the cheapest blender you can find. And it broke just a couple weeks before.
Needless to say, I was pretty excited to upgrade and see what this thing can do. I am constantly using the blender for making batter (especially for some of my gluten-free cake batters like this Mexican Chocolate Cake and this Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting) and icy drinks and smoothies. I’m amazed how much this thing can power through!
The only thing I’ve really had trouble with is when I tried making pesto last week. I figured I would see what would happen in the Torrent and it struggled a lot. I had to shut it off and give it a few stirs, but in the end it came together.
I find when I’m making smoothies that they all kind of end up tasting the same. I’ll use bananas, berries, yogurt, and green tea (like in this Metabolism Boosting Smoothie from January). So I wanted to experiment a little with some new flavors!
And if you know how obsessed with apple crisp everything (doughnuts, cinnamon buns, blondies, cookies, french toast, pancakes…) I am, you knew this was only a matter of time.
Before I got my Torrent Blender, I had never considered adding oats or raw apple to a smoothie. I wasn’t really confident that it would be smooth. But I’ve never had any issues with that! It purees raw apple (with peel!) until it’s completely smooth, and I love the fresh flavour it adds.
But I’m not going to go on and on and on about a smoothie. In my recipes notes beside this one, I simply wrote, “YES!” It is the perfect apple crisp fix when you’re looking for something healthier, or you happen to enjoy dessert for breakfast.

I love bananas and peanut butter and would love to make a smoothie out of that. Do you have a recipe for this? and of course getting the Torrent would be great as well.
Ashley Fehr says
Hi Kevin! I don’t have a peanut butter banana smoothie recipe but I definitely make them all the time! I usually add a banana, some milk, a tablespoon of peanut butter and sometimes a tablespoon of cocoa. I love to use frozen banana chunks because it’s nice and cold and so creamy!
