"To brighten up your day in these uncertain times, here is this DELICIOUS Peanut Butter, Date and Chocolate Slice (vegan, GF, refined sugar free)
Dates are a saviour to anyone who is limiting their processed sugar consumption. They provide so much sweetness and decadence and they are full of vitamins and minerals. They are still sugar so we shouldn’t overindulge in them, but because they are unrefined, they come with a myriad of other benefits: iron, potassium, fibre, antioxidant and essential minerals."
