Good news: dates are a great source of energy because they can be prepared quickly and easily.
Dates in hot milk
Warm 200 ml of milk (sweet or plant-based) without boiling. Add two or three pitted dates and steep for ten minutes. Blend if you prefer a smoother consistency. This soothing drink will fit perfectly into your evening routine. Dairy and Eggs
Dates and dried fruits
Paired with a few almonds or walnuts (a small handful is enough), they make a filling snack. The balance of carbohydrates and fats provides a long-lasting energy boost, which is helpful if you often wake up hungry at night.
Homemade date paste
Blend 4 to 5 pitted dates with a teaspoon of coconut oil or a little honey until smooth. Store in a small, airtight container in the refrigerator and consume a teaspoon at the end of a meal.
Dates, yogurt and oatmeal
Mix 125g of plain yogurt, two chopped dates, and a tablespoon of rolled oats. Set aside for five minutes to soften the oats; you’ll have a light and nutritious dessert.
Date water
Place three dates in a glass of water (about 200 ml) and leave them in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, remove the dates and drink the water. This drink will provide a slightly sweet hydration to start your day. Drinks
Should we eat this every night?
As always, moderation is key. Just three dates provides a significant amount of natural sugars. If you monitor your blood sugar or weight, adjust the amount and consult your doctor if necessary.
The goal isn’t to make dates a miracle food, but to incorporate them into your evening diet as a more natural alternative to processed desserts. As part of a varied and balanced diet, they can contribute to a healthier lifestyle. Food
