Apple Oat Smoothie Recipe

Apple Oat Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 2-3):

• 2 medium apples (cored and chopped, no need to peel)

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or soy)

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or a non-dairy yogurt)

• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• A pinch of nutmeg (optional)

• Ice cubes (4–5, optional for a chilled smoothie)

Toppings (optional):

• A sprinkle of rolled oats

• A pinch of cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Core and chop the apples. If you’re using quick oats, no need to soak them. For rolled oats, you can soak them in milk for 10 minutes to soften (optional).

2. Blend: Add apples, oats, milk, yogurt, honey/maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and ice cubes into a blender.

3. Blend until smooth: Blend on high for about 1–2 minutes until creamy and smooth.

4. Serve: Pour into glasses and top with a sprinkle of oats and cinnamon if desired.

5. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
