Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter
- 3 Medjool Dates
- ¼ Cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats
- 1 Cup Almond Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Ice
Instructions
- Pit the Medjool dates so they blend smoothly. Add the almond milk to a high-speed blender first to protect the blades, then add the dates, peanut butter, gluten-free rolled oats, chia seeds, salt, and ice, and blend on high for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth.
- Check the texture and adjust as needed by adding a splash of almond milk to thin or a few extra ice cubes or oats to thicken, then blend again briefly. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away for the best texture. The chia seeds will continue to thicken the smoothie over time.
Notes
- Add Liquid First: Always add almond milk to the blender before other ingredients to create a vortex that pulls everything down toward the blades for smoother blending.
- Don't Skip the Salt: Salt is essential for enhancing sweetness and preventing a flat, one-dimensional flavor.
- Adding Ice: Begin with 1 cup of ice and add more if needed. You can always add ice, but you can't remove it once blended.
