I keep a jar of date paste in my fridge year-round, and this healthy date paste blend of Medjool dates, vanilla, and a pinch of salt is one of my favorite ways to sweeten food naturally. It is thick, caramel-like, and ready in just 5 minutes. I use it in everything from smoothies, oatmeal, cookies, and desserts. There is also a creamier version that can be used for spreading straight onto toast.
