Recipe: Date and Apple Overnight Oatmeal Smoothie
Serves 1
Ingredients:
- ½ cup rolled Oats*
- 1 Tbsp. Chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1 medium Apple, peeled and cored
- 2 Medjool Dates, pitted
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk**
Instructions:
- The night before, add all ingredients to the bowl of your blender and give it a stir to ensure that everything is well combined. Cover and place in fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- The next morning, blend until a smooth and creamy consistency is reached, adding more milk if smoothie is too thick. Transfer back to a bowl or glass, add desired toppings, and enjoy!
Notes:
* Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you need this to be gluten-free. You can also reduce the oats to ? cup and add a scoop of your favourite protein powder.
** If smoothie is too thick, add a few extra splashes of milk to the blender.
