I’m on a bit of a healthy eating kick right now. Due to pandemics and such I’ve spent less time in the gym and more time drinking beers. This has in turn led me to have some slightly high triglyceride levels, which has never happened to me before in my life.
I got this recipe out of the “How Not to Die Cookbook” by Michael Greger, M.D. I’m way impressed with the references to actual research throughout his book. It turns out that consuming dates can lower triglyceride levels. The book is all about plant based recipes, so there’s no added oil, salt or sugar. I felt amazing after drinking this.

DIRECTIONS:
- Throw all that shit in a blender and add ice and/or water.
