Optimise date bars for sustained energy"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Date bars are typically made with a high proportion of dates, which are a rich source of natural sugars and carbohydrates that can cause a rapid increase in blood glucose levels when consumed in large amounts. But fret not; here are some tips to help you optimise your date bars for sustained energy.<\/p>\n<p>Optimising your date bars for sustained energy<br \/>\n\u2022 You may pair your date bars with mixed nuts like almonds or walnuts, nut butter like peanut or almond or mixed seeds to balance carbohydrates with healthy fats and proteins.<br \/>\n\u2022 You may avoid consuming date bars immediately after meals. Instead, have them as a snack between meals.<br \/>\n\u2022 You may consider controlling your portion size and aim to have a single portion in one meal.<\/p>\n<p>Dates are rich in carbohydrates, fibre and essential nutrients that quickly boost energy. However, consuming them in\u00a0large\u00a0quantities can cause a sudden spike in glucose levels. It can result in feelings of lethargy and fatigue, which is counterproductive for those with fitness goals. Consuming dates in moderation as part of a balanced diet may benefit blood sugar control. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Power up your snack game!
