Description
A delicious, drinkable take on classic apple pie that combines spiced sweetness, creamy oats, and a refreshing apple bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 medium banana (ripe)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (dry)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple, cored and chopped (keep peel for fiber)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (optional — dairy or plant-based)
- Ice cubes (optional; adjust for thickness)
Instructions
- Core and chop the apple (peel optional). Peel the banana.
- Add apple juice first to the blender, then banana, oats, cinnamon, vanilla, chopped apple, and yogurt if using.
- Blend until smooth for 30–60 seconds, or until the oats are fully incorporated.
- If too thin, add a few ice cubes or extra oats and blend again. If too thick, add a little apple juice or water and pulse to combine.
- Adjust flavors if needed by adding more cinnamon, maple syrup, or lemon juice.
- Pour into two glasses and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
For a creamier texture, soak the oats in apple juice for 5 minutes before blending. Use chilled apple juice or frozen bananas for a smoother drink without ice.
