Macaroni Menu: Recipe for Apple Pie Smoothie

By Laurie Corbett October 16, 2014
Breakfast is a struggle in my house. The kids can never decide what they want. Once they do, they take forever to eat and we are rushing out the door. Then I realize that I neglected to eat breakfast myself!

To make sure we can all start our mornings out with the most important meal of the day, I am experimenting with healthy, balanced recipes that we can enjoy on the go. This apple pie smoothie is the perfect solution and also gives a nod to one of the season's most popular fruits.

What You Need:
  • 1/2 cup oatmeal, uncooked, any type
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 medium apple
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • 2-3 ice cubs (optional)
What You Do:
  1. Add the oatmeal to your blender and blend to a powder.
  2. Add water and blend again.
  3. Cut apple and remove seeds.
  4. Add apple, a sprinkle of both cinnamon and nutmeg and ice cubes (if desired) to the blender and blend to your desired consistency.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
