Fall is right around the corner, and it’s apple season! Get your apple pie fix in a pinch with this delicious Apple Pie Smoothie that’s dairy free, gluten free, and easy to make

I don’t know about you, but even though I’m looking forward to fall pumpkin recipes, I’m sad about summer ending. A quandary for sure….
Spring and summer and are my favorite seasons, so I’m always sad to see those months pass. But as I get older, I’m learning to appreciate fall a bit more. Bright leaves, cool weather (makes for great running!), and fall holidays with family and friends. There’s a lot to love!

But one thing I’ve always enjoyed is the transition from summer to fall when all the apples are in season. We have an apple tree that does pretty well most years, and some of my favorite memories are apple picking with family. Plus I’m always up for apple recipes!
So before we dive into posting pumpkin recipes right after Labor Day, I’m celebrating apple season first with this creamy dairy free Apple Pie Smoothie. Cuz I’m just not quite ready for fall to be in full swing just yet.

This smoothie tastes awesome with a full flavored apple, like Jazz, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady (not mild flavored ones like Red Delicious or Golden Delicious apples). If you have some fresh picked apples, those would taste great in this smoothie, too, you might have to add a few drops of stevia if they are very tart apples.
I used unsweetened almond-coconutmilk in this smoothie, but you can use any unsweetened non-dairy milk like rice milk or hemp milk. You can also swap the cashew butter for SunButter if you want to make this smoothie nut-free (if you also swap out the almondmilk). Easy!
