Just a quicky, I'm in the middle of baking something (will share later) and just had to share the tasty healthy little snack ive just invented! Well OK I probably didnt invent it, I'm sure someone has come up with it before. (I bet Chocolate Covered Katie has actually) but I just thought of it for the first time myself in a fit of inspiration so here it is...
Peanut butter stuffed dates!
2 ingredients:
Peanut Butter (and you guessed it...)
Dates
Couldnt be simpler, cut the date in half and remove the stone if its not pitted and spread a little peanut butter in the hole in the middle then pop the top on!
Et voila!!
Simple and DELISH!
If you like peanut butter and love it with sweet things you should give these a go! Loads cheaper than buying reeces pieces or a kit kat chunky peanut butter flavour. They are packed with fibre and protien and best of all no refined sugar! Result!
Calorie count per stuffed date will be about 80 cals.
Calorie count per stuffed date will be about 80 cals.
Would be a great pre gym snack as it has enough natural glucose and protein to give you a major energy boost.
The best dates I have found are in the supermarkets in Spain. They are big and juicy and absolutely delicious. A close second however is the Unicorn Cooperative in Chorlon (South Manchester). Its a wholefood grocery store that sells loads of wholesome goodies. Check them out here. A bumper 1kg bag of juicy pitted dates costs £5.29. They are much nicer than the syrup coated ones you get in supermarkets, and also healthier and better value, everyones a winner! The only problem is they dont last that long in our house.
Let me know what you think anyway, more to come after I've got my bake on!!!
