Apple Oat Smoothie
Made with warm spices, like cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg along with filling oats, this smoothie is a healthy and delicious way to get in some apples for breakfast.
Servings: 1 smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup roughly chopped apple, like honeycrisp
- 3 tablespoons rolled oats or quick cooking oats
- 1 tablespoon sunflower seed butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup apple cider or apple juice (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup ice
- 2 tablespoons dried mulberries (optional)
Instructions
- Add the apple, mulberries (if using), oats, and sunflower seed butter to the blender along with cinnamon and nutmeg. Then pour in apple cider and milk. Blend till smooth. Add 1 cup of ice, blending till smooth and frothy. Serve immediately!
Notes
- I like to use gala, honeycrisp, or fuji. Green apples will work too, but won't be as sweet. You do not need to peel your apple.
- Pumpkin seed butter will also work.
- I prefer apple cider (NOT vinegar) to apple juice here. Definitely get unsweetened.
- Make this recipe dairy free and vegan by using a plant based milk like Oatly, rice milk, or hemp milk.
- I personally think this smoothie is sweet enough without additional sweetener, but you may need to adjust if using green apples. Maple syrup would work.
