- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 1.5 cups oats
- 2.5 cups soy milk
- 2 diced bananas
- 8 tbsp soy yogurt

Instructions
Cover the dates in boiling water, and let them soak for 30 minutes.
Add the dates, almond butter, milk, and pinch of salt to a small blender, and blend until smooth.

Notes
Banana will turn brown quite quickly once cut, if that’s something that bothers you, you can chop them and mix them in just before eating.
