Anyone else hate the taste of dates?

Question

I read about the benefits of eating dates in the last four weeks of pregnancy, but I hate the taste of them! So sweet and sticky! Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can stomach them, or recipes for how I can get my 6 in a day!?

Answer

I put them on my ants on a log instead of raisins. And no there are no children in my house.  I just eat my celery like a toddler lol

Answer

I usually just suck it up and eat them. I don't really like the taste either, but at this point in my pregnancy, the thought of dragging out the blender to make a shake is just too much! Haha. But they do taste better in a shake as one person mentioned earlier!! Pinterest has a bunch of recipes too!

Answer

I didn't like eating them by themselves either, so now I make date shakes! I put all 6 dates in a blender, add coconut milk (although any milk works), and some ice and blend away! Tastes like a milkshake. You can add cocoa powder or vanilla or whatever. Lately I've been adding a shot of cold brew coffee concentrate to make it like a frappuccino. It's delicious!

Answer

My midwifes told me that for max effect we can't cook them. I know there is a recepie of dates icecream I'll try when time comes. Give a google cause I've tastes last year and it was delish!!

Answer

I make mock Lara bars with them

Answer

You can bake them into anything. Brownies, cake, chopped in rice, over chicken.  I actually don't mind the taste.

Answer

I just don't like the texture of them

Answer

You can bake them into cookies which I did, but then you have to eat so many cookies to get all six dates in! I highly recommend making a smoothie with 6 dates, some yogurt, a little milk, frozen berries, and a banana or peach. You can play around with the fruit, but the dates act as a natural sweetener and then you don't have to add any sugar! It's so much better than eating plain dates!

Answer

Wrap them with bacon... Sweet and salty. Not bad
