How to format post_date

Hi Eric,

When using this shortcode:
[post-content id="1234" field="post_date"]
It returns the date as it is formatted in MySQL, so something along the lines of “2016-04-01 13:18:47”. But would you know of any way to customise the date format?
For example, how could it return something like “April 1, 2016” instead of the above?

Thanks for letting me know of any workarounds.
Cheers.
