The Science

This isn't justa MessyDate

151kcal per date
2.7gfibre per date
3.1gprotein per date
0grefined sugar
Almond & Cacao Date, per 35g date. Full nutrition on each product page.

Fuels your training

The same fast, natural carbs sports gels are built to imitate, from a whole fruit instead of a syrup. Absorbed steadily, not dumped at once: fast fuel, without the crash.

Feeds your gut

Fibre travels down to your gut and feeds the trillions of bacteria living there. A well-fed microbiome is linked to better digestion, immunity, and even mood.

Closes the fibre gap

You need 30g of fibre a day. The average adult gets about 20g. Every MessyDate adds 2.7g, and it tastes like dessert while it does it.
