1.   Apple Oatmeal Smoothie in a Mixie

Apples are commonly found fruit in all households and if you already are a healthy nut then you also will most definitely have oats at home.

Pour it into a bowl and add some honey and almonds. You can have it for your breakfast or anytime you crave something sweet. You can whip this up quickly and be worry-free as the apple will give you the protein you need, and oats will give you the fibre your body requires.

You can also add flax seeds or chia seeds while blending but make sure you add some extra milk or water to get the right consistency as these can make your blend thicker. Also, ensure that these seeds are powdered properly/. A mixer grinder with wet and dry jars can do this job very well as these come with blades that can blend everything smoothly.
