SWEET | SNACK
MOTHER NATURE’S CANDY
This is perhaps the quickest, deliciously ooey-gooey, instant indulgent snack. Dates are quite literally nature’s candy, as a dried fruit they are naturally high on the glycemic index, but unlike conventional sweets, are also full of fibre, which aids digestion. By pairing naturally sweet foods – like fruit – with healthy fats – like nuts – you are creating a well-balanced snack that prevents sharp spikes in blood sugar, making a perfect quick pick-me-up!
I find that one or two is just enough to satisfy that sweet spot.
