• Add all ingredients into the blender. The order doesn't matter. Start with 4 small Deglet Noor dates. You can adjust later if you want a sweeter smoothie!
• Blend until smooth. If it's too thick, this may happen if your banana is larger, add a splash more of unsweetened coconut milk, up to 1/4 cup extra. Blend between each addition. The more milk you add, the more liquid it will be. So don't add too much, or you will lose the thick silky texture.
• Taste the smoothie. If not sweet enough, add 2 more dates, blend to combine.
• Serve as 2 small smoothies or 1 large breakfast smoothie.

Storage

• You can store the smoothie in the fridge for 24 hours in an airtight jug or into glasses sealed on top. Give a good stir before serving as the ingredients can separate and form layers.
• Freeze in popsicle molds to make creamy vegan chocolate popsicles!
