Oatmeal Date Shake

Gianni #23's Note:

After a very satisfying sampling of Jonesy's crockpot oats http://www.recipezaar.com/No-Mess-Crock-Pot-Steel-Cut-Oats-322107, I found myself with a pair of dilemnas: what to do with the leftover oatmeal, and a hankering for a vegan date shake. Oatmeal in the shake? It turned out amazing, and though these measurements are approximate, they're as close as I ever get to measuring.
