Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup dairy-free milk (cashew, almond, or oat milk recommended)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Sweeteners
- 3 Medjool dates, pitted
Optional
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the oats: Blend the rolled oats in a high-speed blender until they become powdery. This step helps to create a smooth texture. Alternatively, you can soak the oats in the dairy-free milk beforehand to soften them, which also enhances the fiber content of the smoothie.
- Add remaining ingredients: To the blender with powdered oats, add the pitted Medjool dates, dairy-free milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Serve chilled: Pour the smoothie into a glass over ice cubes if you prefer a colder drink. Since this recipe uses no frozen fruit, adding ice helps chill the smoothie for a refreshing finish.
Notes
- Medjool dates provide natural sweetness and chewy texture; ensure they are pitted for smoother blending.
- You can adjust the cinnamon quantity to taste for more or less spice.
- Soaking the oats before blending can create an even creamier texture.
- Opt for your preferred type of dairy-free milk according to dietary needs and flavor preferences.
- Use ice to chill the smoothie, especially if you don’t use frozen fruit.
