Ah, apple pie. So sweet and full of amazing apple goodness. Here’s a quick and crave-worthy smoothie recipe to make when you’re on the go!

If you’re looking for a easy-to-make take on apple pie, a few healthy swaps and a high-speed blender recreate the flavors of this classic dessert. (Of course, if you want pie, we’ve got you covered with this mini paleo apple pies recipe!)

The best part of pie is the whipped cream (don’t argue with me on this), so I topped it with whipped coconut cream and apple pie “crust” crumbles.

It’s perfect for as sweet paleo snack or for a protein-fueled breakfast. As for what kind of apple to use, I used a Gala apple but you can use whatever you have in your fridge. Granny Smith would be wonderful if you like your smoothies less sweet.

Also, you may not know it, but you probably have coconut cream in your cupboard right now! If you keep canned full-fat coconut milk (a paleo staple) on hand, just open up a can and scrape the creamy stuff — aka the coconut cream — of the top.
