Ingredients to obtain around 120 grams of gel: 2 pitted dates, approx. 20 g. You can also use raisins or prunes. 10 g (1 tbsp) of chocolate. 70 g (3 ½ tbsp) of honey, molasses, maple syrup or agave syrup. 20 g (4 tsp) of lemon or lime juice. 1 tsp of fat-free cocoa. 1 pinch of salt. Preparation: Soak the dates (or the raisins/prunes) for about 2 hours. If you want them to soften a bit faster you can put them in hot water for 20-30 minutes. Once softened, rinse them well. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for a few seconds, and then pour the date mixture into a jug with it. Add the honey, the lemon/lime juice, the cocoa and the salt. Use a blender to mix everything together until you have a somewhat liquid, silky purée consistency. If you find it too thick, add water little by little. Be careful though, as you don’t want it to be too watery. Nutrition information: This recipe has 374 calories, 77 g of carbs, 4 g of protein and 6 g of fat.
