Put oat milk, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and frozen bananas into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

For the best flavor, use bananas with a yellow peel and some brown spots. This is a sign that the banana is ripe and sweet.
If you prefer sweeter smoothies, add a chopped and pitted Medjool date.
Make a thicker smoothie by adding extra frozen banana or a few ice cubes.
To thin the smoothie, add a splash of oat milk and blend for 10 seconds to combine.
Always check the protein powder's packaging before using it in smoothies. Some brands recommend using more than 1 scoop per drink.
Keep leftover smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If the ingredients separate, mix the smoothie before drinking it.
