This Apple Crisp Smoothie is the answer to that apple-cinnamon craving without turning on the oven!
I make this smoothie often when I need something quick for breakfast that’s going to keep me full until lunch — it’s naturally high in protein and fiber, but you can always add a bit of protein powder for even more of a boost.
What others are saying:
“Delicious!! I just made this smoothie and it really exceeded my expectations. Smooth and creamy. Recipe is a definite keeper.” Cindy
Apple Crisp Smoothie ingredients:
- Low-fat milk: I use whatever milk we have, dairy or unsweetened non-dairy, both work as long as you like the flavor.
- 0% vanilla Greek yogurt: Vanilla yogurt will add a bit of sweetness without needing extra sugar. Plus, the Greek yogurt adds protein, which is always a win! You can use plain Greek yogurt and add maple syrup or honey to sweeten it up if you like.
- Instant or quick oats: Quick oats blend more smoothly than large flakes. If your blender struggles, soaking the oats helps a lot.
- Cinnamon: You can swap this with other warm spices like cardamom, cloves, or nutmeg.
- Ice cubes: This is what makes it cold and thick! I promise, it won’t make the smoothie watery.
How to make an Apple Crisp Smoothie:
This Apple Crisp Smoothie is a dump-and-blend breakfast that tastes like an apple-cinnamon milkshake! Scroll down to the recipe card for complete instructions.
- Add the ingredients to the blender in the order listed.
- Blend until completely smooth.
Tips for the best Apple Crisp Smoothie:
- Peel if your blender struggles: I leave the peel on for less prep, but I peel it if I’m using a lower-power blender or the peel bits bug me.
- Adjust thickness at the end: If it’s too thick to blend, I splash in a little more milk, one small splash at a time!
- Make-ahead option: If you want to move faster in the morning, I prep a smoothie bag with chopped apple, oats, cinnamon and ice and put it in the freezer, then dump it into the blender with milk and yogurt. You still get fresh flavor, but the measuring is already done!

Apple Crisp Smoothie
written by Ashley Fehr
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup low fat milk
- 1/2 cup 0% vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup instant or quick oats
- 1 apple, cut into 1/2-1″ chunks (not peeled, unless you really want to!)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6-8 ice cubes
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the blender in the order listed and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make it higher protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for extra protein!
- Add nutty flavor: Add a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter for a more filling smoothie.
- Add chia or flax: I blend in 1 to 2 teaspoons chia seeds or 1 tablespoon ground flax if I want a little extra nutrients!

I would love to have this KitchenAid Torrent! I don’t even have a cheap, crappy blender to break and
am reluctant to spend $ on one in case has no power.
Anne Taylor says
I’d make a milkshake for my grandkids!!
Catherine Lewis says
A raspberry smoothie! I’ve been waiting a long time to make my own!
Katie says
Hmmm, baby food or a nice, grown-up smoothie would be what I make first!! Yum!
Janice says
I want to make apple ginger and pear ginger smoothies. And apple carrot smoothies too. Alas, my poor blender died a screechy death (such a horrifying sound!), so no smoothies for me. Well, no smoothies unless I win this blender 😉
I want to make blended soups too, but that’s a whole other story.
Ashley Fehr says
Haha, on no! I actually had two blenders die on me just before I got my Torrent. It felt like such a treat! I’m not sure I could break it if I tried (better knock on wood just in case… Lol)!
Laura says
Wow, what a terrific prize! Thanks for the opportunity. I would love try it for smoothies and also for making nut butters and seeds butters. – How do you think it would perform for something dense and sticky like that? Your recipes and pictures look terrific btw.
Ashley Fehr says
Thanks Laura! I have actually never tried making a nut or seed butter in it. The only thing I’ve had trouble with so far is my kale pesto.
Gwen says
I’ve never been able to make a smoothie with kale in it and not end up with kale chunks 🙂 reading that this blender blends oats and apple peels so smoothly, I’d try out a smoothie with kale in it!
Ashley Fehr says
I don’t think it would have a problem with kale in a smoothie! I was always too nervous to add apples to a smoothie before I got this one — now I love it!
Alicia Hewitt says
A smoothie with super fruits, and veggies!!
Bernice says
I would make a strawberry milkshake

This recipe sounds so good!! The first thing I would make if I won this blender would be a chocolate milkshake! Yes, not as healthy as a smoothie, but still delicious! Thanks for the chance to win!
