Method

1
Pour the whole milk into your blender first so the blades turn freely.
2
Add the medjool dates, cashew butter and rolled oats.
3
Spoon in the salted caramel whey protein and sea salt on top of the other ingredients so the powder does not stick to the jug.
4
Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth. Add a splash more liquid if it is too thick, or a little more ice to thicken it.
5
Pour into a glass and drink straight away, or keep it in a sealed bottle in the fridge for up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.

Why it works

Weight gain. 837 calories in one glass makes it easier to eat in a surplus without feeling stuffed.
Make it vegan. Swap dairy milk for soya milk, whey for pea or a vegan protein, yogurt for silken tofu and honey for maple syrup.
Nut allergy? Swap nut butters and nuts for pumpkin seeds or tahini, and nut milk for oat milk.
