Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 medium Honeycrisp or Gala apples peeled, cored, and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk or any dairy-free milk
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats provides thickness and fiber
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup adjust to taste
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon extra for dusting
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg freshly grated is best
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract pure extract
- 1 tbsp Almond butter for creamy healthy fats
- 0.5 cup Hot water to adjust consistency
Notes
For a protein boost, add a scoop of collagen peptides or vanilla protein powder before blending. To make ahead, sauté the apples the night before and store in the fridge; simply reheat them with the milk before blending in the morning. This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh as the oats will continue to thicken the drink as it cools.
