Apple Pie Oat Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients
Category Ingredient Quantity
Base Sweet Apple (Fuji or Gala), cored & chopped 1 medium
Fiber Rolled Oats (Old Fashioned) 1/4 cup
Liquid Almond milk (or milk of choice) 1 cup
Creaminess Greek yogurt or frozen banana 1/2 cup / 1 small
Spice Ground Cinnamon 1/2 tsp
Sweetener Maple syrup or 1 Pitted Date (optional) 1 tsp
Cooling Ice cubes 1/2 cup
Instructions
Soften the Oats (Optional): If you want a super smooth texture, soak the oats in your milk for 5 minutes before blending.
Combine: Add the chopped apple, oats, milk, yogurt (or banana), cinnamon, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.
Blend: Start on low and increase to high, blending for about 45–60 seconds until the oats are completely pulverized and the mixture is creamy.
Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder, add the ice cubes and pulse again.
Garnish: Pour into a glass and top with a pinch of cinnamon and a few raw oats, just like in your photo!
Pro Tips for the Best Texture
Keep the Skin On: Don’t peel the apple! Most of the fiber and nutrients are in the skin, and a good blender will make it disappear.
Protein Boost: Add a tablespoon of almond butter or a scoop of vanilla protein powder to make this a full meal replacement.
The “Pie” Flavor: If you have it on hand, a tiny drop of vanilla extract or a pinch of ground nutmeg really takes the flavor to the next level.
