The Benefits of Date Syrup
Adding a little bit of date syrup gives this smoothie just a touch of sweetness without adding refined sugar. Date syrup also contains potassium, magnesium, and calcium, plus beneficial antioxidants that make it the perfect natural sweetener if you're looking to sweeten things up a bit. It's one of the many ways you can sweeten your smoothie in a healthy way.
