Apple Milkshake | Apple Shake
Apple Milkshake recipe is a creamy drink made by blending sweet apples with almond milk or light coconut milk. Also called Apple Shake, it is lightly flavored with cinnamon and sweetened with sugar. This quick recipe works well for breakfast, brunch or an after-school snack. Use sweet, ripe apples and serve the milkshake immediately for the best flavor and consistency.
How I Make This Apple Milkshake
Choosing and preparing apples: I used organic Kinnaur apples from Himachal Pradesh for this recipe, but you can use any sweet apple variety. Some commercially sold apples may have a food-grade wax coating, though a glossy appearance alone does not necessarily mean that an apple is wax-coated.
Rinse the apples thoroughly under running water before peeling them. If using regular, non-organic apples, you can optionally soak them for 15 to 20 minutes in a solution of 2 tablespoon vinegar and 2 cups water. Rinse them thoroughly with plain water afterward, then peel, core and chop them for the milkshake.
Plant-based milk: I make this Apple Milkshake with homemade Almond Milk or light Coconut Milk. This keeps the recipe plant based and makes it suitable for vegans and people with lactose intolerance. If you have a nut allergy, use coconut milk instead of almond milk.
Cinnamon and sweetener: Ground cinnamon complements the apples, but you can leave it out. I add sugar to the milkshake, but you can skip it if you prefer or use a sweetener of your choice.
Serve immediately: Apple Milkshake tastes best when freshly blended. Its color, flavor and consistency begin to change when stored, so I do not recommend preparing it in advance.
If you have more sweet apples, you can also try my Apple Smoothie, Apple Jam, Applesauce, Apple Juice or Apple Halwa.
This is a simple fruit drink I enjoy making when I want something quick and fresh. I hope you enjoy it too.

How To Make Apple Milkshake (Stepwise)
1. Peel, core and chop 2 medium-sized apples. Add them in the blender jar along with ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder and 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar.
The amount of sugar to be added depends on the sweetness of the apples. So add as required. If you prefer you can keep the peels of the organic apples.
You can opt to add your preferred sweetener instead of sugar.
2. Add ½ cup almond milk or thin to medium consistency coconut milk. You could also use any plant-based milk.
3. Blend all the ingredients till smooth.
4. Add the remaining 1½ cups of almond milk or coconut milk. Blend again.
5. Pour the milkshake in glasses sprinkled with cinnamon powder. You can also add some chopped apples. Serve apple milkshake immediately.
Helpful Tips
- Apples: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe and sweet-tasting apples.
- Peeling: I prefer to peel the apples for a smoother milkshake. If using organic, unwaxed apples, you can keep the peel after washing them thoroughly. If using regular apples or if you are unsure whether they are wax-coated, wash and peel them before making the milkshake.
- Sweetener: I add sugar, but you can reduce or omit it depending on the sweetness of the apples. You can also use a sweetener of your choice like jaggery, maple syrup, agave syrup or honey.
- Plant-based milk: Use almond milk, thin to medium-consistency coconut milk, Non GMO soy milk, cashew milk or another plant-based milk you prefer.
- Flavoring: Ground cinnamon is optional. You can replace it with a little vanilla extract, vanilla essence or green cardamom powder.

Hi,
If the apple is wax coated then peeling the apple solves the problem ,i guess. Can we peel off the wax coated apple n go ahead or even after peeling it off thats not healthy??
teena, i think peeling should solve the problem. if you are from india then i suggest buying apple which comes from kinnaur, himachal pradesh. they are not shiny like the wax coated one and they don’t have wax coating.
It is fabulous. Whenever I search for any recipe I always search it in your site. You give the most authentic and easy version. This milkshake recipe is no exception. Thank you.
