Following on from my Nut butter recipe recently, I have a fab little snack you can make with it.
Ingredients
Whole dates – pitted
Homemade nut butter
You can make as many or as few as you want.
Method
Open the pitted dates and then using a teaspoon, fill the centre of them with nut butter. Close the date up around the butter. Try to make sure it’s a nice look.
At this point you have two options:
Eat!
Put them in the freezer. Allow them at least 4 hours if you can last that long! And then Eat! It doesn’t totally freeze, but it becomes firmer and just a different texture. I love to do this, but again, sometimes they just don’t make it to the freezer.
Dates are high sugar, but combining them with nuts helps to slow down the sugar absorption in your gut. So you shouldn't get a sugar rush with these. As a Yoga teacher I find that these are great snacks between classes.
