Happy National Dessert Day!π° You earned a treat, enjoy it, but it doesn't need to come at the cost of your diet. Thankfully there are so many dessert recipes that satisfy the sweet tooth without a sugar overload.π€€ For example, in the Andreano family, we love stuffed dates. They are super easy to make, taste delcious, and are good for you. Here's a general recipe:
- Line a large baking tray with parchment paper (avoids making a mess with sticky dates)
- Slice each date open and remove pit
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into each date
- From here, you can coat your dates. Honey is an easy, natural sweetener. Alternatively, you can make a healthy chocolate sauce to coat them using coconut oil, melted in a pan on stovetop, with cocao powder that is stirred in until completely mixed.
- Once your topping has been added, place in the refrigerator until cool.
- Top with sea salt (preferably flaky sea salt) and enjoy!
These dates are an easy, delicious dessert that taste good and are good for you. Plus, they are vegan and gluten-free! Also, here is a throwback recipe for Dr. A's Traditional Orange slices for another easy treat: https://www.andreanochiropractic.com/dr-as-traditional-orange-slices
