How do you eat your dates?

Question

For women that have eaten dates to help prepare their bodies for labor, did you eat all 4-6 dates in one serving or did you snack on your dates throughout the day?

Answer

I got he big ones so I only had to do 2-3. The taste is ok, but the texture gets to me so I dread them. I used them to sweeten my "pregnancy smoothie" (spinach, flax seed meal, plain Greek yogurt, collagen powder, frozen berries/other fruit, and whole milk) instead of honey in the last month of pregnancy. Still not my fav, but I get my minimum in (use two) and it's better than biting into one.
