Ingredients of Apple Oats Drink
- Oats – Here you can use both steel-cut and instant oats. If you are preparing this drink for a diabetic, then make sure you are using rolled or steel-cut oats and not instant oats. Dry roasting the oats gives a nice toasted and nutty flavor to the drink.
- Dates – Dates are used as a natural sweetener for the drink. The best variety of dates for making smoothies is Medjool dates. These varieties have more pulp as compared to the other variety.
- Apple – I have used Royal Gala for making this drink. Apart from green apples, you can use any kind of apples.
- Cinnamon – It is much better to add cinnamon in a powdered form rather than a whole one.
