Dietitian’s Dish Tip(s):
> Add natural sweetness to recipes with sweet cherries and Medjool dates. Dried cherries are packed with antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and fiber. Medjool dates offer natural sugars, fiber, potassium and iron. Incorporating these ingredients into your diet can provide a natural source of energy and support digestive health.
