Fall Food: Apple Oat Smoothie



If you have been following my blog for a bit then you know that I love smoothies and breakfast. I can't help it and there is nothing that I love more than a great apple.

Hence, the Apple Oat smoothie!!

Ingredients:
1 massive apple of your choosing
1 cup Soy Milk
1/3 cup Oats
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Cinnamon
Ice- This is completely up to you, but I love frothy thick smoothies and I found that 1/2 cup of ice was perfect.

First, half and and then quarter your massive apple. Make sure to core your apple so that you don't end up with any of the hard bits or seeds in your smoothie. I don't have a fancy tool to core apples, so I just cut them into quarter pieces and then cut the bits off that I don't want.

Next, put everything into your lovely blender and hit the on button! 
 Pour out your healthy and delicious smoothie and enjoy. <3

Makes one serving.

Banana Blast Smoothie

I am a fairly healthy person, and something of a fitness junkie, but I love food. So, when I started being health conscious I refused to sacrifice taste and variety. One of my limitations concerning smoothies and cooking is that I am lactose intolerant and for the most part most of my smoothies consist of a soy milk base. In search of the perfect smoothie, I started playing around with different smoothie combinations and came across a classic and simple recipe for an amazing banana smoothie.

Ingredients
2 frozen bananas (I usually just grab a couple of bananas that are very close to being too mushy and brown, peel, and freeze them)
1 cup of soy milk
1 tbs of honey





This particular smoothie is a snap to make. Simply put bananas, soy milk, and honey in your blender and mix for about a minute on the puree setting. Within 60 seconds you will have an amazing and nutritious breakfast that will keep you going all morning!

Tip: If you find that your bananas are to much for your blender to handle when frozen, just make sure to let the bananas thaw for a few minutes before using them. The more frozen your bananas are the creamier your smoothie will be.
