"It seems like you might want to eat them before dinner. What do you recommend?"
Great question! Eating our treats after dinner is not a problem. They are "desserts" after all! On an empty stomach you may feel the affects as soon as 20 minutes for all of the nuts and dates are soaked, making them easy to digest! On a full stomach it may take up to 90 minutes to feel the same affects. We’ve been informed that dabbling with half of the dessert and saving the rest for after your meal works quite pleasantly as well
