Apple Cider Smoothie
Filled with fresh apple cider, creamy Greek yogurt, and apple chunks, this Apple Cider Smoothie is a refreshingly delicious drink. On the healthier side and full of flavor, this smoothie is perfect to sip on when enjoying the crisp, fall weather!
Have you ever had a taste of something, maybe a cookie or a donut or drink, and all you can think about is THAT? That cookie, that donut…you just crave it and can’t wait until you can get your hands on it again.
Well, that’s totally me with a cider smoothie. I had my first taste of this a few years ago while apple picking and I’ve been craving it ever since. Since I only go apple picking once a year, I can only fulfill my love for this smoothie then. And trust me when I say that waiting a year for it is such a long time!
If you’ve never had a cider smoothie before, then you’re definitely missing out. It’s filled with apple cider, apple chunks, and creamy yogurt. It’s delicious, refreshing, and best drink to devour in the fall. And since it’s a smoothie, I feel a little better about drinking my calories away. After all, apples and yogurt are on the healthier side, right?
But since I wasn’t able to make it to pick apples this year, I decided to get creative and whip up my own Apple Cider Smoothie.
Filled with fresh apple cider, creamy Greek yogurt, and apple chunks, this smoothie is sweetened with honey and is a refreshingly delicious drink. On the healthier side and full of flavor, this smoothie is perfect to sip on when enjoying the crisp, fall weather.
This Apple Cider Smoothie reminds me of fall in a glass. It’s thick and bursting with apple cider goodness. So if you love apple cider as much as I do, then this is a must-make smoothie for you.
And like most of my recipes, this Apple Cider Smoothie is a breeze to whip up. Simply combine all of the ingredients into a blender and blend away. I like to keep my smoothies on the thicker side, but feel free to blend until it reaches your desired consistency.
So the next time you’re in the mood for a healthy, fall indulgence, whip up this easy Apple Cider Smoothie. It’ll be your new favorite drink for the fall!

I have never had a apple cider smoothie before but I definitely need to try one soon! Sounds delicious Gayle!
Thanks, Manali!
I love the use of honey granules, Gayle! We have a huge container of it. But the brand we buy calls it honey powder. It looks the same, though. It’s really good in coffee, but I bet it’s just as delicious in a smoothie. An apple cider smoothie at that. I can’t wait to make this!
Oh I love your suggestion of adding the honey granules to coffee! I’m definitely trying that tomorrow! 🙂 Thanks for the kind words, Jen!
Your smoothies are always so creative, Gayle! This Apple Cider Smoothie looks like another winning idea!
Thank you, Rachelle! This is the best smoothie to sip on if you love apple cider!
I can’t believe I’ve never added apple to my smoothies. Now that I have a real blender that can take them on I mean! Lol. I am totally trying this!
Apples in smoothies are SO good, Ashley! I think you would love it!

Thank you, Katalina!

Omg. Gayle, you just made my night. I need all of this in my life. We went to the orchard yesterday and made some pies/crumbles, but I need a little bit of healthy in my diet, too. 🙂

Thanks, Mariah!
Apple cider smoothie? Yum! That sounds so good! Perfection Gayle!
It’s my favorite fall smoothie, Valya! 🙂 Thanks!
Gayle, I’ve just made this, and it’s amazing!
I didn’t have honey granules (and out of honey), so used maple syrup instead. And because I love vanilla in my smoothies, added a teaspoon of it. I think I’ll make ice cubes out of apple cider to keep that great apple flavour.
Great recipe that made my day! Thank you from Bowen Island in B.C., Canada.
I’m so happy to hear that, Joyce! Maple syrup is a great swap. Thanks for stopping by and letting me know how it turned out!
Delicious recipe, and it ended up making enough for just over three tall glasses. We were out of yogurt, so I ended up using a combination of sour cream, heavy whipping cream, and a small amount of oat milk in its place. I think the sour cream brings a nice extra dimension of flavor to the smoothie, but I’d still like to try it with the yogurt the original recipe calls for. I admit, using the whipping cream does make it less healthy, but it does make the smoothie more fluffy. Feels like cheating, sorry about that. All in all, I will make this again!
I’m so happy you enjoyed, Sam! Thanks for sharing the modifications!
