Apple Cinnamon Oat Smoothie
An apple-pie-inspired breakfast smoothie using soft apple purée, oats and cinnamon for easy portable blending.
Yield: 1 small serving. Ingredient quantities are approximate; check the fill level and adjust to suit your blender.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Milk or unsweetened plant drink | 130ml |
| Unsweetened apple purée | 80g |
| Quick oats | 1 tbsp (about 10g) |
| Ground cinnamon | 1/4 tsp |
| Plain yogurt (optional) | 1 tbsp (about 15g) |
Method
- Add the milk to the bottle with the quick oats and leave for five minutes to soften.
- Add the apple purée, cinnamon and optional yogurt, making sure the mixture stays below the maximum fill line.
- Blend until creamy. Add a small splash of liquid if it needs help circulating, provided the bottle has room.
- Serve and rinse the bottle promptly.
Make it your own: Use cooked, cooled apple that has been mashed smooth if you do not have unsweetened apple purée. Raw hard apple chunks can be difficult for small blenders to process; avoid them for this recipe. The whole apple in the photograph is shown as the source of the cooked apple purée used in the method.

Portable blending notes
Soften oats first for a smoother texture. Check the ingredients label when buying apple purée to choose one without added sugar if preferred. Check the instructions for your particular model, stay below its maximum fill line and never force a stalled blend.
