Notes

I tested this recipe with light canned coconut milk. Refrigerated coconut milk from a carton might work as well. Full-fat coconut milk will make this smoothie very thick. 
If you're not a fan of coconut, you can use other plant-based milks. Soy milk would be a great option for a higher protein smoothie.
Feel free to add more dates for a sweeter smoothie.
