Instructions

Peel the banana and break it in half. Rinse and pat dry your apple. Cut the apple into wedges using a paring knife or an apple corer/slicer.

If you don’t have a Vitamix, start by placing the oats in your blender and pulsing them a few times to break them up.

Place all ingredients in the blender. Blend until smooth and you can’t detect the oat texture. (If you have a Vitamix, you can insert the tamper through the lid to push the fruit into the blades while blending.)
