Gluten Free Toasted Walnut Apple Pie Smoothie! A healthy dessert like overnight oatmeal smoothie you can enjoy for breakfast, post workout, or anytime a sweet craving hits! Super creamy, packed with protein and fiber. Gluten free + Low Calorie

Making this Toasted Apple Pie Smoothie was such a treat. I’ve been buried in baking cakes and pies for weeks for other freelance sites I work for. Seriously, it’s been 2-3 pies and 2-3 cakes per week this past month. I’ve been giving away food like it’s going out of style.

I’m not complaining though because I love what I do. It’s just this time of year is crazy with the pre-holiday push for sweets and treats recipes. It’s a lot! So much my boyfriend suggested buying a mini freezer for the garage because my freezer can’t take anymore at this point. But I’m not much of a sweets person so I’d rather see the food go to a good home than hang out at mine on the off chance I might eat it.

It’s refreshing to finally make a simple recipe like a smoothie. Something easy, yet oh so delicious!

In fact, I feel simple foods are the best. A Facebook follower told me last week that’s why she loves my recipes. They’re easy, delicious and uncomplicated. YES! That’s what I’m all about. Life is complicated enough so let’s not complicate it more with our food.

It’s finally cooled down in Phoenix to a high of 88, which to me is fall weather. Time to bust out my sweaters, apples and squash everything! This Toasted Apple Pie Smoothie is perfect with it’s warm fall flavors. It tastes more like a dessert than a smoothie.

The secret to making it taste like apple pie is toasting the walnuts before blending them with the other smoothie ingredients. Oh so good! Super thick and creamy. Packed with fiber and protein making it perfect for post workout or a late night snack you can cozy up to.

Eating this smoothie can also be good for your gut when you prepare it overnight. You see, when you let the oats sit overnight they breakdown the phytic acid. Phytic acid in the oats can inhibit nutrient absorption if you’re dealing with gut issues (aka inflammation).

This means you could be eating healthy but lacking in key nutrients. So if you’re immune system is compromised or you’re chronically stressed, then overnight oats are a great way to help your body get those nutrients. Make sense?

Ok, now that we got the nerdy nutrition stuff out of the way who’s ready for dessert aka Toasted Apple Pie Smoothie?

    I can’t believe how hot it is still! Vegas is in Vegas this week and she sent me a pic of her car saying it was 126! Insane. Very glad we ended up in SD vs. Vegas. 😉

    Delicious looking smoothie! I love apple smoothies in the fall. Hope it cools you down!

      Ugh…yes it’s supposed to get even hotter this weekend. At least it’s not 126, but still, I’m ready for 80s and 90s weather. Obviously my idea of cold isn’t that very cold haha!

    I love smoothies all year long. Cold or not. Pinned your recipe for menu planning. I don’t watch TV except for my almost nighly dose of Modern Family reruns with my husband and daughter. Love that show 🙂

    Have a wonderful weekend Megan!

    This looks absolutely amazing and a must try! Aren’t moms the best! It’s the little things they do that keep us always thinking about them!

    Also I need some blogger advice! First do you have any advice to give to a newbie food blogger on photography? I have a canon camera that I can’t switch lens with. Also my second is how did you do the recipe thing where people can save it or rate it!?

    Amazing blog by the way and I can’t wait to read more of what you have to offer!

      Hi Katerina! I use the recipe plugin for my recipes. For food photography, I highly recommend you buy the book I referenced in my latest State of the Blog post. https://skinnyfitalicious.com/state-of-the-blog-september-2015/
      The book is worth every penny and applies to any camera. It is all I used as a reference. Be sure to check out my monthly recaps as I always offer tips for bloggers.

    Tell me more about how you get paid to make cake?! Jealous!

    But this smoothie looks good too. Something refreshing is always in order after so many sweets. (I even say that as a sweets lover.)
