  • The 1/4 cup dates was interpreted as a generous date portion equivalent to about 4 Medjool dates
  • No yogurt, nut butter, honey, or other additions were included

Uncertainty notes:

  • The main uncertainty is the date type and actual almond milk volume; if the dates were smaller Deglet Noor dates the calories and carbohydrate would be lower, and sweetened almond milk would raise calories and carbohydrate modestly.
