All of the goodness of Autumn is contained in this yummy, warm apple pie smoothie. Packed with spinach, apples and a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg allows you to enjoy a dessert in a mug using whole food, plant-based ingredients.
Add hot water, oats and dates to a blender. Let stand 5-10 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients. Blend on low speed, increasing speed until very smooth. If using a high speed blender, continue blending using the soup function or high speed, until smoothie is hot.
Pour into a mug and sprinkle the top with extra cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired.
Notes
Make sure your blender is rated for hot liquids before pouring hot water into it.
Swap almond milk with the plant milk of your choice.
Swap dates with natural sweetener of your choice.
Feel free to add coconut whipped cream to the top of the finished smoothie if you want a more dessert-like experience.
To lower the natural fruit sugar in this smoothie, omit 1 date.
