Blend
Secure the lid and blend on high for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and the oats are fully integrated. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if necessary, then blend another 10–15 seconds.

Check consistency
If the shake is too thick, add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time (up to 2 tablespoons) or an extra 2–4 tablespoons almond milk and pulse to combine until desired consistency is reached.
