You guys know I’m from Washington State, right? That means when fall rolls around we’re swimming in apples. You can literally see apples rolling down the alleyways where heavy boughs of ripe, unpicked fruit have dropped. It’s almost comical, like the ball pit in a kid’s play area. While I haven’t harvested apples directly from the alley, I have made the most of my neighbor’s tree, picking enough apples to last the whole season.
One of the easiest ways to get your apple-a-day is to blend them into smoothie bowls. Apples are naturally sweet and when combined with ripe bananas, dates, rolled oats, and cauliflower (yes cauliflower) they taste just like apple pie.

What’s in this Apple Pie Smoothie Bowl?
Fruit: This smoothie bowl is naturally sweet, from apples, ripe bananas, and dates. The riper your bananas are, the sweeter the bowl will be. If you like a sweet/tart flavor. Choose tart apples like granny smith.
Cauliflower: While cauliflower may seem like an unusual ingredient to blend into a smoothie bowl, it is a great way to sneak veggies into your diet without giving your jaw a workout. Once steamed until fork tender and frozen, cauliflower becomes very mild and blends up creamy and undetectable.
Oats, coconut milk, and cinnamon: Rolled oats add a cakey texture to smoothie bowls, kind of like a bite of pie filling with crust. They also add protein and make the bowl super filling. Full fat coconut milk adds healthy fats and richness, and cinnamon gives that special pie spice flavor.
Toppings: Now for the fun part. Load up that bowl with crunchy granola, apples slices, and a generous dollop of coconut whipped cream!

How to Make Apple Pie Smoothie Bowl
Steps 1-2:
1. For extra creaminess, thaw your steamed and frozen cauliflower florets slightly before blending. Pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or just let them sit on the counter while you gather all your ingredients.
2. Add your bananas, cauliflower, apple, and oats to a blender container, followed by the coconut milk, dates, cinnamon, vinegar, and salt.
Step 3:
3. Securely attach the lid to your container and blend until creamy, starting at low speed and working up to medium and then high speed. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the container or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using.
Step 4:
4. Scoop the creamy mixture, which will be the consistency of loose oatmeal, into 2-3 bowls and top with apple slices, your favorite granola, and a dollop of coconut whipped cream!
Enjoy as a healthy and filling dessert-for-breakfast or a satisfying snack!
