Apple oats shake

How many of us love oats in all its true form?I can have it but yea but i know at the bottom of my heart i'm not a big fan of it i just gulp it down because its healthy.But my kids even the baby won't budge he'll seal his lips and no means no!So this is how i get it in!No jokes with mummy no ;)

Baby food version works too.I find it easy to push this through knowing it is healthy too.
I use the same method as given below but reduce the amount of milk just add about 2 tablespoons of milk and more of fruit puree.

Preparation Time : 10 minutes

Makes 2 glasses

You need

Apple 1 cored and cubed
Lime juice 1 tsp
Oats 3 tablespoons
Honey/sugar to taste
Water 1 cup
Milk 1 cup

• Cube the apples and mix the lime juice in a bowl of water and keep the apple submerged in the lime water.This prevents the apple from oxidising.
• Puree the apple with a spoon of sugar in a blender keep aside.
• Cook oats in a cup of water and allow to cool.
• Add the cooled oats with the apple puree and blend it until smooth.
• Add milk and blend once more until smooth.Add sugar/honey to this.
• Serve chilled in glasses.

Enjoy healthy oats shakes for breakfast :)
