Caramel Apple Oatmeal Smoothie Tips:

Make no cook caramel apple oatmeal smoothie ahead of time and store it in airtight containers for an easy grab and go meal. Here are recommended tips to make your blended oatmeal taste fresh and delicious every sip you take:

Frozen apple: The apple is the main ingredient that adds sweet and tart flavors; it can either be fresh or frozen. Using frozen fruit will eliminate the need for ice if you want to make a cold blended beverage.
Oats: Rolled oats or quick oats are the preferred type of oats for making a smoothie. Steel-cut oats aren’t recommended for raw food preparations because they are extremely tough to blend smooth.
Vegan: Select dairy free milk alternatives to make this without animal products.
Gluten free: Even though oats are gluten free, it’s recommended to use certified oats if you strictly avoid wheat products.
Protein powder: Blend in a scoop of protein powder to boost the amount of available nutrition. Use your favorite unflavored, chocolate or vanilla protein powder.
Sweetness: Whether you make the caramel sauce from scratch, or you use a store bought brand from the ice cream aisle, adjust the level of sweetness to suit your sweet tooth craving. Balance of sweet and sour taste of the apple with the rich caramel and hearty oatmeal base.
Consistency: Add a splash of liquid or a few ice cubes to loosen up the mixture if the viscosity is too thick for your preference. If you’re looking for an extra kick of fresh apple, throw in another half.
Make ahead: Meal prep ahead of time for an easy grab and go meal on the run. The smoothie will thicken when stored overnight. Loosen up the consistency with a splash of milk and give it a quick stir.
Storage: When kept in an airtight container inside the fridge, the oatmeal smoothie is good for about 3 days, store it in the freezer and it should last 1 month.
