WALNUT STUFFED CHOCOLATE DIPPED DATES aka the perfect, nutritious snack✌🏼// follow @kalejunkie for more tips! I’ll usually grab one of these before a workout when I need a little energy boost, OR between lunch and dinner to keep me full and happy and satisfied.  Ten minutes of prep time and you can make a batch to enjoy all week. I recommend storing them in the refrigerator in a covered container.⁣
⁣
Let’s break it down—⁣
⁣
Dates: YES, dates are higher in natural sugar than other fruits, but they also happen to be extremely nutrient dense and a great source of energy. They are high in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins, so HAVE A DATE!!!⁣
⁣
Walnuts: Walnuts are rich in anti-oxidants and healthy fats. Don’t like walnuts, add a few almonds or pecans instead. ⁣
⁣
Chocolate: Among other things, high quality dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants and is good for your heart! Have a little chocolate!⁣
⁣
To make a batch, here’s what you need:⁣
12 dates (I like medjool)⁣
1 cup walnuts (2-3 per date)⁣
1/2 cup chocolate of choice (I used @hukitchen)⁣
1 tsp coconut oil⁣
Flaky salt⁣
⁣
Remove pits from the dates. Fill each one with 2-3 walnuts. In a bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt using your preferred method (I do it in the microwave in 2, 30-second increments until nice and melty). Drizzle some chocolate on top of each date. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Enjoy! Store in the refrigerator.⁣
