Bringing You Fall in a Glass
There’s something special about that first fall morning that actually feels like fall — the air just crisp enough to make you crave something with those autumnal flavors. That’s where this smoothie comes in. Because...it's always smoothie o'clock!
Our Apple Crisp Smoothie is everything you love about the season: fresh apples, oats, cinnamon, and that hint of sweetness that makes you feel like you’re starting your day off right. It’s simple, satisfying, and perfectly balanced — a blend that feels like comfort, without the sugar crash. And of course, it’s made with JOI, for that creamy, whole-food richness we’re all about.

Why This Smoothie Works
The magic here is in the ingredients — nothing fancy, just simple staples that just come together:
-
Fresh apples (or applesauce for pantry convenience!) add natural sweetness and fiber.
-
Rolled oats bring fiber for gut health, help keep your energy steady, and give that naturally creamy texture.
-
JOI Cashew or Almond Milk Concentrate adds the nutrition and creaminess you expect (without the dairy, gums or fillers).
-
JOI Almond Protein Powder gives a real protein boost and that subtle, nutty flavor that ties it all together.
-
Cinnamon and dates make it feel warm and familiar — like fall in a glass.
It’s balanced, nourishing, and tastes indulgent in that “I can’t believe this is actually healthy” kind of way.
Why JOI Belongs in Every Blend
When you blend with JOI, you’re not just making it creamy — you’re adding real nutrition. JOI Cashew Base and JOI Almond Base create that thick, velvety texture that’s hard to beat.
Each spoonful is packed with healthy fats, plant-based protein, and minerals like magnesium and copper to support energy and overall wellness. And because JOI is made from just nuts — no additives, no nonsense — you get pure, clean flavor every time.
Almonds are a superfood! Cashews are especially rich in antioxidants and essential minerals that help support heart health, strong bones, and steady energy throughout the day.

A Pantry-Friendly Smoothie
No apples? No problem. This smoothie works with whatever you’ve got — it’s what we call a “pantry smoothie.”
-
Use unsweetened applesauce or even frozen pear instead.
-
Add chia, flax, or hemp seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s (source).
-
Boost protein with a scoop of JOI Almond Protein Powder or your favorite vanilla plant protein.
-
Want a little crunch? Top it with granola or cinnamon-dusted pecans.
-
Or keep it simple: oats + JOI = instant creamy breakfast perfection.
It’s the kind of blend that reminds you how good “simple” can taste.
The JOI Difference
At JOI, we believe plant-based should be simple, sustainable, and satisfying. Every product — from our Cashew Base to our Oat Milk Powder — is made to fit your life and your pantry. No waste, no fillers, just real food that works hard for you.
Less waste. More nutrition. All JOI.
