Expert Tips

Rough chop the dates a bit before adding them to the food processor or blender.

If you like it a bit sweeter, use a vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain.

Dietitian Tip

Using whole foods like dates that add natural flavor and sweetness to desserts is a great way to get in some extra fiber and iron while also satisfying your sweet cravings. And the combination of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese in this recipe is an easy way to get some protein which will help you stay full and satisfied instead of making you crash like a cup of sugar will!
