Equipment

Blender

Ingredients

¼ cup rolled oats
½ cup dairy-free milk I used oat milk from Oatly
¼ cup dairy-free yogurt I used plain cashew yogurt from Forager Project
1-2 large medjool dates or ½-1 tablespoon of maple syrup
1 tbsp peanut butter
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup ice cube optional, for a frosty smoothie

Optional additions

½ scoop protein powder
1 tbsp raw cacao powder
½ cup frozen bananas

Instructions

In a blender, add the rolled oats, non-dairy milk, yogurt, peanut butter and vanilla. Let the mix stand and rest in the blender for about 5-10 minutes (helps soften the oats and avoid a gritty texture).
Add the ice cubes and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste to adjust flavor and consistency, serve and enjoy right away.

Notes

Soaking the oats briefly in milk, even for 5 min, helps soften the oats enough to blend completely and avoid a grainy texture. Don't skip this step!
Add enough ice cubes for texture but not too much so you don't dilute the flavor.
Adjust texture: if your smoothie isn't thick enough, then you can add more oats or ice cubes, and if it is too thick, then simply add more milk. I recommend starting with less milk and adding more as you go.
