dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Raw Oats
• 1/4 cup Nut Butter Powder of choice (Almond, Cashew, Peanut, etc)
• 1 1/2 cups Plant-Based Milk
• 5 Dates
• 3 tbsp Cacao Powder
• 1 tsp Vanilla Powder
• 1/3 tsp Sea Salt

Directions:

1. Blend all ingredients until smooth about 30 seconds
2. Pour mixture into Ninja Creami Deluxe Container, if space left before Scoopable Max Fill line, add Plant Milk, stir
3. Place in freezer for 24 hours without the lid*
4. When ready to enjoy, process using a Ninja Creami Deluxe Lite Ice Cream setting, Re-Spin if necessary, adding more Water if needed
5. Eat it all or place leftovers back into freezer till next time
