vanilla bean date paste!

As much as I loveeee a flavored syrup for coffee, it is full of sugar and as I’m getting older I’m trying to limit my sugar intake because diabetes runs in my family.

This vanilla date paste is the best substitute as dates are literally nature’s candy. I use this in my coffees & for fruit dipping…so good! Hope you love!
