Dates: contain essential minerals, like iron and potassium, and when you pair them with nutrient-rich ingredients like almond butter and cacao
Oat Milk: Cooking with oat milk is an easy way to add protein and minimal sugar to recipes. oat milk replicates the viscosity of dairy milk more closely than other alt-milks do, so it’s easy to swap into any cake, muffin, or other recipe, one-for-one.
