Kefir Medjool Date Heaven

Ingredients:

  • 10 Organic Medjool Dates

  • Coconut Kefir Water (See additional recipe)

  • 1 tsp of cinnamon

  • 1 large noble or organic ginger - peeled and chopped

Instructions:

  • Place dates in the bottom of a glass fermentation jar

  • Place a fermenting weight on the dates

  • Pour approximately 1/4 cup of prepared coconut kefir water

  • Top up the jar with filtered water, high enough to cover the date by 2 cm

  • Pour all the liquid contents into a bottle and add the cinnamon and ginger - shake to combine

  • Pour this mix back over the dates and weights in your original fermenting jar, seal on the airlock lid, making sure that there is 3cm of air locked in the jar for expansion

  • Place in a dark cool space for 48 hours, then move to the fridge and consume at your leisure

My favourite ways to include these in my nutrition:

  • One medjool date in smoothies

  • One date as a treat after my meal

  • Use dates in cakes in place of sweetner

  • In my delicious Avocado Ice-cream
