Instructions
Soak the Oats
Place the rolled oats and apple juice into the blender and let them soak for 2 minutes. This brief soaking helps the oats blend more smoothly and prevents a gritty texture.
Add Remaining Ingredients
Add the chopped apple, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, and ground cinnamon to the blender with the soaked oats.
Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed for 90 seconds. Oats require longer blending time than fruit alone so do not cut this step short or the smoothie will have a gritty texture kids do not enjoy.
Serve and Garnish
Pour into glasses and sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon on top for presentation. This smoothie is thick so serving with a wide straw or spoon straw works best.
