Instructions

Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender first.
Add the pitted Medjool dates, rolled oats, and sea salt.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Soak the rolled oats in milk for 10 minutes before blending for a creamier texture. Use almond or oat milk to make it dairy-free.
