Yes, to make this shake lactose-free, you can use lactose-free milk or a non-dairy milk alternative such as almond, soy, or oat milk.

How can I adjust the thickness of the shake?

Cooking Tips:

- For a smoother texture, blend the oatmeal first before adding the rest of the ingredients.

- If you prefer a thicker shake, you can add some ice cubes before blending or use frozen blueberries.

- Feel free to substitute the milk with any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
