Why puree the dates first in this smoothie?

Pureeing the medjool dates with almond milk until they are specs ensures a smooth texture without large date chunks in the final smoothie.

Can I use different milk instead of almond milk?

The recipe specifically calls for 2 cups of almond milk, which contributes to the vegan nature and desired consistency of this smoothie.

What type of bananas are best for this recipe?

The recipe uses 2 bananas, and ripe bananas are generally preferred for smoothies to add natural sweetness and a creamy texture.

Why do I need to wait after adding the oats?

Waiting 2-3 minutes allows the 1/2 cup of rolled oats to soak into the date almond milk mixture, helping them blend more smoothly and contributing to a creamier consistency.
