Apple Sauce Smoothie With Blueberries

Does Applesauce Thicken Smoothies?

Apple sauce helps thicken and sweeten smoothies.

It brings a lot of creaminess to the smoothie, thickness, and nutrients (especially if you use homemade apple sauce).

Putting apple sauce in a smoothie will become your new favorite way of making smoothies, especially if you don’t like bananas.

Benefits of Drinking Applesauce Smoothie With Berries

I recently made an applesauce smoothie with coffee, which prompted me to make this smoothie with berries instead, which helps enhance the benefits of this smoothie.

Here’s an overview of the benefits of drinking this smoothie with applesauce:

• Rich in Antioxidants: Blueberries and homemade apple sauce are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that fight free radicals, promoting overall health.
• Digestive Health: The fiber present in blueberries helps support a healthy digestion.
• Bone Health: Even dairy-free milk options, like almond, soy, or oat milk, often come fortified with calcium and vitamin D, promoting strong bones and teeth.
• Energizing: The combination of natural fruit sugars and protein can provide a sustained energy boost, making it a great choice for a snack or breakfast.
• Immune Boosting: Blueberries and other ingredients used in the smoothie recipe have vitamins, such as vitamin C, which can bolster the immune system and help fend off illness.

Recipe Customization Options

There are some optional substitutions and add-ons you can make to this beverage with applesauce.

Here are my recommendations:

• If you are not vegan, feel free to use unsweetened Greek yogurt, which will add probiotics and protein to your smoothie.
• For a creamier smoothie and a higher protein smoothie, if you are not dairy free, use low-fat cow’s milk
• For a high-protein applesauce smoothie, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
• You can replace the blueberries with any other berry you like.
• If you like nuts, add a tablespoon of nut butter, such as peanut butter.
