This delicious recipe is packed with nourishing ingredients to keep you full until lunch—and looking forward to making it again the next morning!

(5 from 3 votes)Instead of date paste, add nut butter, like, 1 tablespoon. Or chop up a fresh Medjool date. Use fresh pineapple, because the juice from canned is loaded with sugar (like the date paste is).
Delish, thanks. I added some walnut and hemp seed.
You can make date paste with dates and water. Stores well in the refrigerator .
