Making An Apple Pie Smoothie With Oats

Prepare the apple. Wash one large apple and remove the core. You don't need to peel the apple, although you may want to if your blender isn't very powerful. Chop the apple into rough pieces and put them in the blender. Consider using a Red Delicious of Gala apple for the best flavor in this smoothie.

Blend the smoothie ingredients. Add the remaining smoothie ingredients into the blender. Just be sure to pour the almond milk in first so it's nearest to the blender blade. Blitz the ingredients until they're smooth. Add all ingredients except for ice.

Add ice and finish blending the smoothie. Dump in 1 cup (140 g) of ice cubes and cover the blender with the lid. Turn the blender on and blitz the smoothie again until it's completely smooth. Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve them immediately. You can garnish the apple pie smoothies with a dusting of cinnamon or a sliver of apple.
