  4. Add the apple, pear, dates, Greek yogurt and walnuts to the oat milk in the blender.
  5. Spoon in the unsweetened cocoa powder, then add the vanilla and cinnamon.
  6. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until thick and completely smooth with no streaks of cocoa powder, scraping down the sides once if needed.
  7. Divide evenly between two glasses, pour over ice if you like, and serve cold right away.
