Pretty standard vegan Vitamix recipe with one exception: the lavender. You can find it in any natural food grocery store that has seeds and nuts in bulk.

I dont own a vitamix yet, but Id like to try this! What can I substitute for the oats?

Chia seeds work fairly well for binding and thickening. Squash, too. Or, just skip ’em!
