- Add Ingredients to Blender: Pour 2 cups of dairy-free milk into the blender first, followed by 3 cups of fresh spinach, 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, 1 frozen sliced banana, 3 tablespoons cashew butter, 1 tablespoon chia seed, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1.5 scoops vanilla protein powder.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the oats and banana are fully broken down for a perfect texture.

Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen banana or reduce the amount of liquid milk.
- You can substitute cashew butter with almond or peanut butter for a different nutty flavor.
- Use gluten-free oats if you need the recipe to be gluten-free.
- Adding mini chocolate chips or cookie dough bites is optional but adds to the cookie dough taste.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking.
