Processed sugars are immediately absorbed into your bloodstream, causing unpleasant sugar spikes and energy crashes. This is why you may feel tired or irritable after eating something like a candy bar or drinking a soda. Whereas, the complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time. Our body needs natural sugars like the ones found in Medjool dates to help create sustained energy throughout the day!
Spreadable and utterly addictive, date paste is made by blending whole Medjool Dates and hot water together until smooth. How easy is that?! And it can even be frozen if you make a big batch!
The best part about date paste is that it's so versatile. Use it on toast instead of jam, or top on oatmeal in place of brown sugar. You can even flavor date paste with vanilla, coconut, or other fruits as a dip or use it in meat dishes as a glaze. You can bake with date paste too – using it will yield a moist, higher-fiber result which clearly knocks refined sugars out of the game.
Thick, rich date syrup is super-easy to make, and lends an earthy, sweet flavor where you'd typically use maple syrup or honey. That means you can use date syrup in baking, on pancakes, and in coffee.
You can also pour it over Greek yogurt for a protein-packed, sweet snack. A richer source of potassium than bananas, date syrup in your smoothies gives low-glycemic sweetness and a source of potassium after that tough workout.
