Medjool Date Snacks
Medjool Date Snacks - 10+ easy and healthy ways to create the perfect mates for dates!
Snacks don’t have to be complex and include every ingredient in your pantry. If anything, snacks need to be simple. They need to be a quick grab-and-go and something to whip up fast as you need something ready before or after your workout, to help stabilize blood sugar, or to tie you over before a late dinner reservation.
So that is why I’m showing you my favorite carb source - medjool dates and the many medjool date snack ideas you can do to make sure your date is macro balanced, less than 5 ingredients, and is a quick grab and go snack!
The OG lately, medjool date + goat cheddar cheese + prosciutto. The perfect blend of sweet, smokey and salty! I also like it because it’s very reminiscent of having a charcuterie board in one bite! (*bonus if you elevate it with honey or balsamic glaze drizzle and crushed nuts like pistachio.)
Other great medjool date snack combinations are:
salted chocolate peanut butter date
Ex: stuff the date with peanut butter and top with an almond and some crunchy sea salt and dip the bottom in dark chocolate
Cheese + nut combo date
Ex: Stuff the date with cheese like a slice of brie and a nut like pecan.
Italian inspired date
Ex: Stuff the date with goat cheese and some sun-dried tomato pieces, and top with basil chiffonade.
Wrapped in bacon date
Ex: Stuff the date with cheese of choice like goat cheese, wrapped in bacon and cook in the oven for 350 degrees - 10 min on both sides or until bacon is crispy! Sprinkle with pistachio and honey if desired.
It’s no secret that I absolutely love banana bread! *Cough Paleo Banana Nut Bread and Brownie Batter Banana Bread Muffins.
WIth that said, I am completely unapologetic as I whipped up yet another banana bread recipe - banana bread muffins!
This was a fun recipe to create as I had my niece and nephews in mind. Like most parents, mornings feel rushed so I wanted to create a recipe that my sister could make ahead of time so that first thing in the morning, she can warm up or serve cold these muffins with a small pad of butter and eggs on the side and serve it to the kiddos!
