    How to Make Cocoa Coconut Date Shake

    1. Soak the Dates (Optional)

    If your Medjool dates are a bit firm, consider soaking them in warm water for a few minutes to soften them up. This step ensures they blend smoothly into the shake, making it creamy without any unwanted date pieces. However, if your dates are already soft, you can skip this step and move on to the blending.

    2. Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the creamy peanut or almond butter, your soft or soaked dates, full-fat coconut milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, ice, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend everything together until the mixture is completely smooth and unified. You'll know it's ready when you see a luscious, creamy texture with no visible date bits. This step is crucial as it ensures the perfect consistency and flavor balance in your shake.

    3. Adjust the Thickness (Optional)

    If you find that your shake is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more coconut milk and blend again until you reach the desired consistency. This flexibility allows you to personalize the shake just the way you like it.

    4. Freeze Leftovers (Optional)

    Should you have any shake left over, don't let it go to waste! Pour the remaining mixture into an ice pop mold and freeze for at least three hours. This turns your shake into a delicious frozen treat that you can enjoy later.
