Apple Pie Smoothie

Serves 1

Prep time: 5 minutes n Total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 medium Gala apple (or other sweet
• variety), unpeeled, cored and chopped
• ¾ cup unsweetened rice milk
• ¼ cup old-fashioned (dry) oats
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 ice cubes
• A few drops of liquid stevia to taste

Instructions:

Blend all ingredients until smooth. This is a terrific breakfast smoothie for Phase 1.

The standard grain portion for Phase 1 would be ½ cup of dry oats, but we prefer ¼ cup of dry oats in this recipe. So be sure to add a brown-rice cake or a few brown-rice crackers on the side.
