A date smoothie can be an ideal addition to any healthy weight-loss plan. Dates are naturally rich in fiber, which promotes satiety, and packed with protein and essential minerals—making them an excellent source of energy without the need for refined sugar.
Here’s a delicious, low-calorie and nutritious smoothie recipe from Nadormagazine, along with tips to make it even more diet-friendly.
