With the addition of dates, you get a hint of sweetness but also a vitamin and mineral boost including; iron (helps to oxygenate the blood), B vitamins (assists energy metabolism), copper (bone, connective tissue & red blood cell production), and potassium (nerve impulses & muscle contractions). Also, as a training benefit, drinking caffeine before a workout can give you the extra energy required to go that little bit harder!
