Hadn’t done the hot water with dates technique before and dang it helped them blend better and the smoothie seemed way more sweet-Naturally! So delish and, with what I can imagine, a healthy dose of fiber. Thanks!

I’m gonna apologize in advance because I know I’m gonna ramble here, lol! I am a menu planner, and like to stick to it as much as possible. For a mixture of snacks and lunches for school today, We were supposed to have yogurt topped with dates and pecans, egg salad with crackers, a fresh pear and a spinach salad. Well I realized as I went to bed last night that I forgot to buy yogurts. I woke up this morning with a fresh idea to use the dates in a smoothie, but I didnt have a clue what I would mix it with. Hello Pinterest, and Thank you Cassie. We kept the egg salad with crackers, and turned the pear, spinach, and dates into a delicious smoothie, I always have frozen bananas in the freezer, and I added the pecans that were supposed to top our yogurts, and I do have to admit, I piled the ingredients into the blender and then didnt blend them right away because my baby was still sleeping, Eventually hubby came around to blend it, and I noticed him squeezing honey into the top of the blender as it was blending, I quickly yelled at him, “thats enough” as he looked at me and said,, “oh sorry, it just looked kind of green”. I give my kids what we call green monster smoothies (literally just milk, bananas, and spinach) all the time, but I guess hubby was a bit scared of the monster this morning, lol! anyway, the whole family agreed it was delicious, and next time, I’ll try to blend it before hubby gets to it with some possibly unneeded honey.

I gave up sugar too. I am even used to drinking coffee without sugar and for me that was the hardest.

It is harder if you are thinking about sugar all the time, the secret is just totally forget about it.

Hey Cassie, great post! I am curious too about changing my tastebuds with added sugar.

How would this recipe work with date paste? Like that kind that you can get on the cheap

I once did a 14 day sugar cleanse that included not only added sugar but fruits/vegetables that were naturally high in sugar as well. By day 7 I was losing my mind. All I wanted was 10 pineapples, a bunch of bananas, and all the dates I could swallow. I felt like a drug addict haha. I can definitely relate. Now, when I eliminate sugar it’s in baked goods, white/brown sugar, etc but I keep honey, agave, and coconut nectar.
