Coconut Date Shake

14 oz coconut milk*
2 tablespoons Coconut Cream Concentrate (or more to taste)
Small handful of dates – pits removed (more or less to taste)
2 cups ice (more or less depending on thickness desired)
2 teaspoons coconut oil, melted
Optional: 1/2 cup soaked almonds or Brazil nuts for extra protein. Soak for at least an hour and rinse off water.

I am always looking for new ways to use Coconut Products

This one was good .. needed a bit of doctoring up.. I put have a banana in it and a bit of Agave Sweetener that gave it just what it needed.. don’t drink to fast or you will get the mouth freeze…

I added a little coconut peanut butter to the recipe to maximize the taste.  A coconut date peanut butter shake — delightful, delicious and healthy combo!

We made this this morning and it was so good! We were out of ice, so I subbed frozen banana. Will be making again, both with and without the banana. 
I did add a bit more coconut cream concentrate than the 1 tsp per 6-8 oz water, as it seemed not quite coconutty enough. (For a double batch, I added an extra tsp.)
