Instructions

Place the milk or unsweetened soy milk, vanilla-flavored protein powder, frozen banana slices, rolled oats, ice cubes, and pure vanilla extract into a blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 30 to 45 seconds.
Check consistency and add a splash of milk if too thick or a few more ice cubes for a thicker, colder shake; blend briefly again if adjusted.
Pour the shake into a large glass and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Tips

Use rolled oats for a smoother texture; instant oats can make the shake too gritty.
Adding pure vanilla extract enhances the natural sweetness and aroma beyond banana alone.
