Notes
* Cook time refers to chilling time. ** Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you need this to be gluten-free. You can also reduce the oats to 1/4 cup (20 g) and add a scoop of your favourite protein powder. *** If your dates are a little on the drier side or you don[t have a high-speed blender, leave them out and let them sit in water until you’re ready to blend. Make sure to drain the water before you add them to the rest of the ingredients.
