The body handles processed and refined sugars differently than it does natural, unaltered sugars. If I were to have a tablespoon of pasteurized orange juice, its absorption would be different than if I had a few oranges (or unpasteurized OJ) :)
Sounds delish, but the for the counters (like me) the carbs are off. According to my bag of dates, 1 date has 5g of carbs. When I entered this into my Sparkpeople nutrition tracker the shake had 35g of carbs. Also, adding a bit more protein would make this more balanced, like soy or whey. Thanks!
