Date Smoothies and Breakfast Ideas

Dates are a natural way to sweeten breakfast without reaching for sugar. Their sticky sweetness blends smoothly and works in all kinds of morning meals.

Date smoothies

Add two or three pitted dates to the blender with banana, milk or a plant drink, and a spoon of nut butter or oats. The dates sweeten and thicken the smoothie in one go.

Porridge and overnight oats

Chop dates into hot porridge, or stir date paste or syrup through overnight oats. They melt into the oats and remove the need for added sugar.

Yoghurt and toppings

Fold chopped dates through yoghurt with nuts and seeds for a quick, naturally sweet bowl.

Which dates?

Soft Medjool or creamy Barhi blend most easily.
