    These sound pretty good...minus the dates. Maybe with some mini-chocolate chips or peanut butter chips for an extra treat!

    I did not realize so many people felt about dates as I do. I feel kind of sorry for the dates now, and rather compelled to try them so they won't feel neglected.

    Info on dates : Dates are a raw food kitchen staple. Their sticky-sweet texture makes them great for binding nuts into bars and tart crusts and they are a subtle sweetener for energy drinks and smoothies. Dates are a natural, unprocessed sugar, with fiber, potassium, calcium, and iron. Using dates as a substitute for refined sugars will save you from the increased heart rate, cloudy thinking, sugar high, obsession to binge, the extra lbs., bloated feeling and most importantly—the sweater on your teeth. A couple Medjool dates (shown here) blended with water and fresh organic lemon juice before a workout make a super-boosting sports drink and dates are quick and easy to prep.

    More on dates : Dates are nuggets of nutrition that satisfy a sweet tooth, making them ideal snacks to stave off hunger. True, dates provide more calories than most fruits, but they make a great substitute for processed sweets, like candy, to help you stick to your weight-loss routine.

    California dates are sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, and a good source of fiber -- all of which are important factors in keeping the pounds off. Learn about this sweet fruit and how it can help slim your waistline and improve your overall health.
    Health Benefits

    Loaded with fiber -- both soluble and insoluble -- dates are able to fill you up and keep your bowel habits regular. They are an excellent source of potassium and provide numerous other important vitamins and minerals -- quite a powerhouse packed in a tiny, portable package.
