Pour the coconut milk into a jug or the food processor bowl you are going to use to blitz the ingredients together.  Add the oats and the dates to the milk.  Place the jug/bowl into the fridge to soak the oats for about an hour.

If you prefer a smoother textured smoothie, soak the dates in a small amount of water instead. This will make it easier for you to remove the skins before adding them to the jug later.

Once the oats have had some time to soften, add the rest of the ingredients to the jug/bowl.

Blitz the ingredients together with a stick blender or food processor until smooth and then scrape into a small pot.

Heat the mixture up on the stove top, using a medium heat.  If making this for the children, don't warm it up too hot.

The mixture will become runnier when heated, but you still may need to add a little water or milk to get the consistency to where you want it.  Just remember if you add more milk, you will need to calculate the extra fat.

Share between 3 bowls and finish with your choice of toppings (or none, if that's how you prefer it),
