Community Member and Meal Prep Queen Sascha Farley recently shared pics of her favourite indulgent sweet treat – Peanut Butter Stuffed Dates coated in Chocolate!
Forget candy bars, this next snack is like a party in your mouth with a bonus of feeling good! Imagine this: plump Medjool dates, nature’s chewy caramel, stuffed with creamy peanut butter, a powerhouse of protein and healthy fats. Then, to top it all off, a drizzle of melted dark chocolate, rich in antioxidants. It’s a sweet and salty explosion that keeps you energized, curbs cravings, and gives you a dose of essential nutrients. So ditch the guilt and grab a date – this treat is good for you and oh-so satisfying!
Understandably, everyone was desperate to find out how she made these delicious bites of yumminess, so today we’re sharing her recipe.
Plus, we’ve even worked out the calories and the good news is, they’re under 100 calories each!
Sascha admits to dates being her favourite go-to snack.
“OMG I love dates! I use them a lot in baking as a sweetener but I also love to eat them on their own as a quick snack. I even put them in my Healthy Mummy Smoothie!”
While the calorie content of dates is higher than fresh fruit, due to the fact they’re dried, dates are really nutritious and full of fibre and antioxidants.
There are lots of different varieties of dates available too. Sascha used Medjool dates in this recipe but you can use any variety of date you choose.
Thank you Sascha for sharing your recipe with us!
