Ingredients
1 cup Honeycrisp apple, roughly chopped
3 tbsp rolled oats
1 tbsp sunflower seed butter
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 cup unsweetened apple cider
1/2 cup almond or oat milk
1 cup ice
2 tbsp dried mulberries (optional)
Instructions
Place the chopped apple, dried mulberries, oats, sunflower seed butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a high-speed blender canister.
Pour the apple cider and your choice of milk over the solid ingredients.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and the oats are finely pulverized.
Add the ice and blend again until the texture is creamy.
Serve immediately in a chilled glass.
Notes
Use gluten-free certified oats to keep the recipe strictly gluten-free. For a smoother texture, soak the rolled oats in the milk for 5-10 minutes before blending. You can substitute sunflower seed butter with almond butter if preferred. Ensure your apple cider is non-alcoholic and contains no added sugar.
