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!

Notes
- Make it higher protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for extra protein!

How can I possibly pick one thing that i would make with this amazing blender! There are so many things i would make, from smoothies, to milkshakes, to ice coffee! But I think the first thing I would make is iced coffee because the stuff I used to buy in the store is no longer being sold here in Canada! So I need to come up with my own iced coffee for home, also Tim Horton’s is too far away from my house! insert sad face here…
