If you’ve been following my blog or Instagram for a while, you might have seen this smoothie..already two times 🙂 It seems to be a tradition of mine to post this recipe every year. But it’s just because it is SO GOOD!! And I hope every one could taste it. This Caramel apple pie dessert smoothie takes a few minutes more to make than a regular smoothie, but it’s worth the effort. Trust me!

Smoothie champion!
This smoothie gets me all nostalgic. It was the first proper dessert smoothie I ever made, and I was super proud of it. I even won the Finnish Smoothie Championship 2015 because of it! You can read about my experiences here.
And if you want to know my tips for a yummy dessert smoothie and see the 2016 version of this smoothie, here’s the post 🙂 I changed the recipe just a bit this year: I used 2 apples instead of 1 apple and apple sauce. Either way it’s very delicious!
What makes this smoothie even more special than the previous versions is that I made it using apples from our very first apple tree! And look how cute the apples are <3

- [b]Caramel[/b]
- 4 pitted medjool dates
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk
- 1 tbsp nut butter
- ¼ tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- [br]
- [b]Raw pecan bites[/b]
- ¼ / 0,5 dl cup pecans
- ¼ / 0,5 dl cup buckwheat groats
- 2 pitted medjool dates
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- ¼ tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- Pinch of salt
- Preparations for smoothie base: Soak buckwheat groats overnight (cover with water and add 1 tsp apple cider vinegar). If you want to you can also soak cashews a minimum of 1 hour in water and a pinch of salt. If you have a powerful blender, you don’t need to soak cashews.
- Raw pecan bites: blend all ingredients in a food processor until a sticky dough ball can be formed. If you’re using small dates (smaller than medjool), add more than 2 to get a sticky dough consistency. Flatten the dough onto a silicone mold (or any tin lined with a parchment paper) and put in the freezer for at least 20 min before cutting into pieces.
- Caramel: blend all ingredients together in a food processor.
- Smoothie: Drain and rinse buckwheat and cashews. Blend them together with all other smoothie ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth consistency reached.
- Assembling the smoothie: spread the caramel to the sides of two small serving jars before pouring in the smoothie. Cut raw pecan bites into small cubes. Pour the smoothie into the jars and add raw pecan bites on top.
- Enjoy this sweet dessert 🙂
