Nutrition boost: Why apples shine in smoothies

Apples are the secret ingredient for a nutritious and delightful smoothie. Here’s why they’re “good” in smoothies:

  • Fiber-Rich Goodness: Apples are loaded with dietary fibre, which aids digestion, helps control blood sugar levels, and keeps you feeling full for longer.
  • Nutrient Powerhouse: Apples are rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium. These vitamins and minerals support your immune system, promote healthy skin, and contribute to overall well-being.
  • Antioxidant Properties: Apples contain antioxidants, such as quercetin, which can help combat oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
  • Hydration: Apples have a high water content, contributing to your daily hydration needs.

Secret to crafting the silkiest apple oat smoothie

Sometimes, rolled oats can give your smoothie a grainy texture if they aren’t blended properly. Here’s the trick: soak the oats in oat milk for a few minutes before blending. This softens them up, ensuring a velvety texture.

Instructions

Step 1: Slicing the apples

Four apple quarters on a wooden board with a knife and a bowl of oats nearby.
Quarter the Apples: Begin by cutting the apples into quarters. Slice them in half through the stem, and slice each half in half again. Then, remove the hard core and seeds.

Halve Each Quarter: Take each apple quarter and slice it in half again, lengthwise. You should now have eight long slices (two from each quarter).

Make Crosswise Cuts: Hold the stack of long slices together and make crosswise cuts with the knife to create apple chunks. Transfer them to a baking dish.

Step 2: Baking the apples

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 3: Soak the oats in milk

Step 4: Blending the smoothie

A blender with yogurt, milk, apple slices and spices.
Once your baked apples have cooled, add them to your blender. Save about half a cup to garnish your smoothie bowls. Add Greek yogurt, milk-oats mixture, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Diabetes diet tip

Much like crafting that perfect apple pie smoothie, finding balance in your diet is essential. When it comes to this delightful smoothie, the key is to be mindful of your portion size. Opt for a smaller serving and adjust the maple syrup quantity to help effectively manage blood sugar while enjoying those beautiful flavours. As a certified diabetes educator, I firmly believe it’s all about striking the right balance to relish taste and health.

Food safe storage

As you prepare your apple pie smoothie with yogurt, it’s important to consider safe storage. Once blended, your smoothie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The texture and taste do begin to change with time. So, I’d suggest whipping it up fresh and enjoying it at its best.
