- 3/4 cup canned full-fat coconut milk (use the rest in a smoothie or freeze)

Combine coconut milk through salt in a blender until dates are completely blended. (If using maple syrup you can just whisk by hand).

Divide into 4 glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
