Use a sweet apple like Honeycrisp or Fuji, leave the skin on for fiber, and let cinnamon and oats do the “pie crust” work.

Ingredients

1 serving

You’ll need: Blender

Method

  1. Core and chop the apple (no need to peel).

  2. Add the milk, yogurt, oats, maple and cinnamon; blend for 15 seconds.

  3. Add the apple and ice and blend until smooth, 45-60 seconds.

Tips

  • A basic blender may leave flecks of peel: peel the apple if that bothers you.

Make it ahead

Pack the solid ingredients (fruit, greens, seeds, oats) into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. In the morning, tip the bag into the blender, add the liquid and yogurt, and blend. A blended smoothie keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake before drinking. More on smoothie freezer packs.
