Caramel Apple Bites & PB Cinnamon Stuffed DatesI’m back this week with another quick snack to keep you healthy and satisfied, caramel apple bites and peanut butter cinnamon stuffed dates.

This snack is to help you reach for mother nature’s bounty instead of the vending machine or convenient store crap (although many convenient stores now carry fruit!).

Caramel Apple Bites & PB Cinnamon Stuffed DatesTired, hungry, pms-ie? Grab a snickers some apples and dates. Dates are nature’s candy. They are sweet and remind me of caramel which is why I’ve filled them with mini pieces of apple.

Dates are a good source of fiber, potassium, protein, and magnesium—they even contain calcium.

Another benefit about dates is they are softer on your teeth than caramel.

Make this snack less cute and more transportable by tossing apple slices, whole dates, some peanut butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon into a sealable container. Perfect for work, hiking, biking or road tripping.

If you’re new to dates, there’s so much you can do with them besides snacking.

You can make a date paste to substitute sweetener in smoothies, oatmeal, or even eat it straight and replace the endurance fuel power gels. So many wonderful options.

Do you have a favorite type of date? Yes, I love medjool dates – I’ve tried barhi, halawy, and honey dates but medjool are still my favorite.
