Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 5 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for 20 seconds.
Pour shake into a cup. Serve immediately.

Oat milk tastes great with banana, but you can use any milk you'd like. High-protein options include cow's milk and soy milk.
Whey or plant-based vanilla protein powder can be used. You can also use unflavored protein powder with ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Omit the date syrup to make your shake less sweet.
Choose a banana that has a yellow peel with a few brown spots. This is a sign that the banana is ripe and sweet.
For a thicker shake, add a few ice cubes or use frozen banana slices instead of fresh ones.
Always check the packaging of your protein powder. Depending on the product, you might have to use more or less than a scoop.
Your protein shake will taste best freshly made, but leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight glass jar for 1 or days. The ingredients might separate during this time, so be sure to shake it before drinking.
