Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if gluten sensitive)
- 1 apple, cored (leave the peel on)
- 1 ½ to 2 Tbsp Homemade Date Syrup (or 1 to 2 pitted dates soaked in hot water to soften)
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon, plus more for dusting
- ¾ cup unsweetened plant-based milk (I used almond milk, but any will work)
- ½ cup ice cubes, optional (omit if you want a warm bowl)
Toppings
- 1 Tbsp chopped walnuts
- pinch of ground cinnamon
- sliced or diced apple (optional)
Instructions
- Add rolled oats, plant-based milk, ground flaxseeds, cinnamon, homemade date syrup (or dates), and (if using) optional ice into a high-speed blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and top with chopped walnuts and a pinch of cinnamon, then enjoy!
- (OPTIONAL) If you prefer a warm apple smoothie bowl, pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and gently warm it over low heat.
Notes
- Consistency/Texture: If the consistency is too runny, add about one teaspoon of ground flaxseed (or more oats) to thicken. If it's too thick, add more unsweetened plant-based milk.
- Leftovers/Meal Prep: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container, such as a mason jar with a lid, in the fridge for up to 2 days. Give it a shake or stir and add toppings just before serving. If you're meal-prepping this bowl, blend all ingredients except for ice. Store in a mason jar, and blend again with ice when you're ready to enjoy. Add toppings and dig in!
