Not the prettiest…. But yummy I promise 😂
An amazing natural high fibre sweetener to add to porridge, flapjacks, smoothies etc!
Add a packet of dates to a bowl, cover with boiling water and allow to soak for 10 mins (longer if dates are harder). Then using a hand blender blend to a smooth paste. This lasts for up to 3 months in the fridge in a sealed container!
How to track the calories example:
- Using a 250g pack of dates
- Cover with water (now it weighs different!)
- Blend then weigh out the paste into the container you’re going to store it in. It now weighs 400g for example.
- If we wanted 25g of dates per serving this would make 10 servings (250g of dates) but (400/10) is 40g of date paste
- So 25g dates = 40g date paste
- Hopefully that makes sense!
