How To Make This Vegan Smoothie (step by step)
To make this smoothie, simply combine all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
Cooking Tips and Considerations For Making This Vegan Smoothie
If you need to make a substitution for the dates, you can try using raisins or dried apricots. Dates are really great though because they have a ton of natural sweetness inherent in them which allows you to avoid having to include added sugar
I prefer old-fashioned oats or quick oats in this recipe. Avoid steel-cut oats as they will be a bit too chewy
As for the oats, feel free to use quick-cooking oats or even oat bran if that's what you have on hand. Just be sure to adjust the measurement accordingly.
If you're not a fan of almond milk, any other type of plant-based milk will work just fine.
If you find that it's too thick, simply add more liquid until it reaches your desired consistency. And if it's too sweet for your taste, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Add a good protein powder if you need to use this smoothie as a high protein post-workout recovery option. I'm more a fan of whey protein powder, but you'll have to be careful if you prefer to keep this true to a vegan diet. Almond butter or peanut butter are good sources of protein as well.
Other add-ins to consider for protein in vegan smoothies include chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
If you want a creamier smoothie greek yogurt helps. For a more indulgent smoothie go with cacao nibs combo with the yogurt.
For a more refreshing element, I'll add some coconut water.

A: If you need to make a substitution for the dates, you can try using brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sweet
Q: Can I add ice cubes
