This snickerdoodle smoothie calls for vanilla oat milk and cinnamon to create a creamy vegan version of a favorite cookie! This post is sponsored by Quaker Oats
Oat milk
Oat milk has been trending as a great lactose-free, plant-based milk, and naturally, Quaker would be the one to make a delicious one. I’ve been using the three flavors in everything from cereal to smoothies to oatmeal itself.
Oat Milk Nutrition
On the nutrition front, each 8 ounce serving of Oat Beverage is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, a good source of fiber from oat bran and chicory root, and clocks in at 30 (Unsweetened) to 50 (Vanilla, Original) calories. Quaker’s Oat Beverage is also specifically formulated with fiber from oat bran to qualify for an FDA heart health claim, with .75 grams of soluble fiber from oat bran per 8 ounce serving. [Studies show 3 grams or more of soluble fiber daily from oat bran, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.]
Snickerdoodle Smoothie Recipe
I serendipitously created this snickerdoodle variation using the vanilla flavor. It combines oats, Oat Beverage, almond butter, and cinnamon into a smoothie that tastes like a blended cookie. The almond butter and cinnamon are key!
A Heart Healthy Diet
A heart healthy diet should include whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, lean protein and legumes. This recipe provides at least 1g soluble fiber. Experts recommend that no more than 10% of your calories should come from saturated fat, and no more than 20-35% of daily calories should come from total fat.

Why is Chicory Root added to so many things? My GI tract doesn’t like it so I have to be an ingredients list reader

I’ve made this a few times. I add frozen cauliflower and a chia/flaxseed blend. We really like it!
