Hey Munchies!
Welcome to the channel if you’re new, I’m Alyssia.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends,
and I hope you ate plenty of delicious food!
As you can probably guess from the intro,
one of my favorite things about the holidays of all is PIE.
But, all of that pie can also be one of the HARDEST things about the holidays—
I want to eat it all!
So, instead, today I’m sharing 5 healthy smoothies that TASTE just like pie.
These breakfast smoothies are loaded with healthy fuel,
but they’re sweet and indulgent to satisfy those dessert cravings!
AND they can absolutely carry over into your healthy new year, too!
First up, Cherry Pie!
We’ve got frozen cherries, which I love
because not only can you get them more affordably than fresh and year-round,
but they also substitute as ice in this smoothie!
We’re also adding some yogurt—any kind will do,
even a soy or coconut yogurt to keep this vegan—
milk of choice—I love cashew milk in smoothies—
oats, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and sweetener to taste.
I always suggest adding your sweetener to your preferences,
whether it’s a no-calorie sweetener or a sugar variety,
it will depend on what YOU like and if other ingredients like your yogurt
have sweetener in them already.
Blend that up until it’s smooth, thick and creamy.
Nice and sweet, beautiful in color, and nutritionally boosting, too!
For that extra clean indulgence,
feel free to add a bit of coconut whipped cream on top!
Next: Banana Cream Pie!
Start with a frozen banana, and then add yogurt—
I like thick Greek yogurt for this one, but again any kind will do—
a scoop of vanilla protein powder,
milk of choice, oats, and coconut shreds.
Again, I really prefer to use frozen fruit to ice,
the smoothie just ends up much creamier.
It’s so thick and delicious!
And coconut and banana are such a winning flavor combination !

Next up, a classic: Green Apple Pie
Combine a green apple, peeled if you prefer, with oats,
milk of choice—I like coconut milk here to thicken—
apple juice, spinach, vanilla extract, sweetener to taste—
I used coconut sugar in this one since it’s reminiscent of brown sugar,
which is always in my apple pie—
cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom.
For a thicker smoothie, add a few cubes of ice.
This one is so refreshing, both tart and sweet,
and you won’t even notice the spinach!
You can sneakily get those veggies in and enjoy that wholesome breakfast upgrade.
Thumbs up for making veggies taste like pie!
How about Blueberry Pie?!
Again, I’m subbing the ice—this time with frozen blueberries,
which are cheap and nutritious—then add your milk of choice,
yogurt of choice, oats, almond butter, vanilla extract and cinnamon.
I actually think the frozen blueberries make this smoothie so sweet and delicious,
because frozen fruit is generally frozen at the peak time of freshness,
so you don’t have to worry about tart berries!
Last but not least: Coconut Cream Pie!
I add ice cubes, coconut cream, coconut water,
coconut milk, coconut shreds, soaked cashews,
maple syrup and coconut extract to a blender.
That is a LOT of coconut!
If you don’t like coconut, TOO BAD!
Don’t ask for a substitute for this recipe, that’s just silly!
Holy moly though, it is so tasty!
It’s thick and creamy,
and not to mention completely plant based.
The coconut water adds natural sweetness and keeps it really refreshing.
Not to mention it’s nutrient-dense!
Woohoo!
And those are 5 healthy breakfast smoothies that taste like pie.
They are SO fun!
I hope you can use these recipes to satisfy some of those sweet cravings
during the holiday season—or anytime!
