When foodie and blogger Marisa of The Creative Pot received a bottle of KAPRUKA Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, she immediately set out to find a way to use it and came up with this tasty Apple Pie Smoothie recipe.

“This really is apple pie in a glass or as close as you’re going to get anyway,” wrote Marisa on her blog. “The coconut oil added that extra touch of ‘mmmm this is good.’”

Marisa was sweet enough to let us share her recipe with you.

Apple Pie Smoothie (Serves 2)

Ingredients:

3 apples, peeled and pips removed
1/2 cup plain low fat yogurt
3/4 cup apple juice + 2 tbsp
1/2 cup low fat milk
1/4 cup oats
1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (allow to cool slightly before using)
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp honey

Method:

1. Cook apples in a half cup apple juice until tender and liquid cooked away.
2. Add apples along with the rest of the ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth.

Serve immediately.
