Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 1 apple
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 450ml oat milk (or your favourite non-dairy milk)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 4 tsp cranberry sauce
Method
- Prepare the apple by peeling and cutting into small chunks. Combine the apple pieces with the maple syrup, water and spices in a saucepan and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The water should evaporate, leaving something resembling apple sauce. Set aside and leave to cool for five minutes.
- To make the smoothie, process the apple sauce, oat milk, chia seeds and half of the cranberry sauce. Pour into two jars or glasses and top each with the remaining cranberry sauce. Enjoy!
