I love to use dates and other dried fruits for when my kids or I are wanting candy. They are so naturally sweet and can satisfy the craving quickly and while they have a naturally high sugar content, few will argue that the natural sugar found in a date is preferable to the added sugar found in candy. Especially when paired with the fiber. Fiber has hit a fever pitch in the wellness world and my guide to fiber is available here if you want to know how much fiber you need and how to get it.
These almond butter stuffed dates are the easiest snack for when you’re craving something sweet - the perfect mix of sweet, salty, fiber, protein, and fat. Give this one a try - you won’t regret it.
Dates - high in fiber and antioxidants; potential brain-booster from the anti-inflammatory effects of featured antioxidants
Almond Butter - good source of protein and healthy fat; nutrient-dense with antioxidants, vitamin E and magnesium (a healthy blood pressure promoter)
Sea Salt - balances electrolytes, promotes skin health, high quality salt is a great source of trace minerals
