Put oat milk, date syrup, collagen powder, cocoa powder, 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.

Instead of oat milk, you can also use almond milk, soy milk, or dairy milk.
Instead of date syrup, you can also use a pitted Medjool date, maple syrup, or honey.
Use a good quality cocoa powder without added sweeteners. Don't use hot cocoa mix, which is a different product meant to make hot chocolate since it usually has added sugars and powdered milk.
Always use ripe bananas for smoothies. They'll have the best sweetness and texture. Look for bananas with yellow peel and some brown spots.
Leave out the sweetener if you prefer less sweet drinks.
If you like thicker smoothies, add a few ice cubes or extra frozen banana. Be sure to use a tamper to help blend the ingredients.
To thin the smoothie, add a splash of oat milk and blend for another 10 seconds.
Refrigerate leftover smoothie in an airtight jar for 1-2 days. Avoid storing it for longer, which will change the texture and flavor of the smoothie.
