If you are feeling a lack of energy, this is the perfect snack to get a second-wind during your menstrual phase! The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is also unbeatable. I was always a huge fan of Reece’s peanut butter cups growing up as a kid, so this healthier alternative is a go to recipe of mine, as they really hit the sweet spot and are quite filling, not to mention packed with health benefits.
Dates are high in fiber and minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, and iron, which are essential during the menstrual phase. The fats in the nut butter help prevent blood sugar spikes as well.
I love to serve my dates with a Sumo orange on the side for maximum iron absorption.
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
2-3 organic Medjool dates
2 tbsp organic peanut butter (only ingredient should be peanuts)
2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
Flakey sea salt
Recipe:
Open up the dates by cutting down the middle.
Using a spoon, fill in the center of the date with peanut butter.
Using a double broiler, melt the coconut oil and the chocolate chips until a runny consistency is achieved.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the peanut butter stuffed dates.
Top dates with flakey sea salt and let them harden in the freezer for about 20 minutes before eating.
You can also call me crazy, but try out stuffing a date with grass-fed butter– it tastes like a French pastry.
