This looks great, but 1 serving with soy milk and Medjool dates is 386 calories, not 100 calories. If you use almond milk and smaller dates it would still be 300 calories. Are you sure that 2 tablespoons Chia and 1 Tablespoons of flax makes ONE serving?

Just fixed the nutrition calculation good catch!
Lisa says
Can you use prunes instead of dates?
Kristi says
Hi lisa, prunes have a different flavor and texture so i would not recommend these as a sub.
Kristi says
delicious!

This recipe can actually be dangerous as flax seeds contains high amounts of hydrogen cyanide. The max dose for adults is 1-2 tbsp !Whole! flaxseeds and crushed flaxseeds should be avoided at all times for both adults and children unless they have been heated up.

Only dangerous in much higher amounts. Good source on this issue: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/should-we-be-concerned-about-the-cyanide-from-flaxseed/
