For many of us living without sugar is a far thought. From sugary beverages to desserts, people who have a sweet tooth can’t seem to avoid sugar intake every day. But let us tell you one thing if you didn’t already know—white sugar is a slow poison. The refined sugar has zero nutrients and is harmful to your health if consumed in excess. Its overconsumption not only increases weight but spikes your food craving, making you overeat, and feel lethargic all day, affecting your sleep and overall health. But don’t worry, there are a lot of healthy alternatives to sugar for those who can’t live without it with ‘dates’ being one of them.
Dates are natural ingredients with an abundance of nutrients and delicious taste. These naturally sweetened ingredients can be a great swap for refined sugar and can be consumed daily. If you are a big fan of dessert but can’t have white sugar due to health reasons then here are some dessert ideas which can be made using dates.
