Nut Butter Nectar Filled Dates

This is probably one of the most easiest recipes I've shared on my blog so far! It's super easy, fast and simple to make; you've got candy within minutes! (or seconds, depending on how many you make) This is REAL candy; literally, Nature's candy! 

This recipe is kid-friendly, low-fat, delicious, nutritious, and filling (if you eat enough). This makes a good snack before or after a workout (or a 'pick-me up' snack!), fueling you with energy and provide you with  happy, healthy fats (and protein!) I really love this recipe, and I think you will, too! 

This recipe is great with just nut butter alone, but there are a few ways you can enjoy this; instead of drizzling coconut nectar (since its refined) on the dates, you can sprinkle stevia powder. It's healthier and sweeter. Roll the dates in chocolate sauce, and place them in the freezer until the chocolate hardens. Have fun and share with family and friends! 

Life is like a box of dates... you never know what you're going to get...!

INGREDIENTS

Serves 1 (double up the dates for more) 

Nut Butter Nectar Filled Dates

• 1 jumbo or large medjool date, pitted
• 1 tsp cashew butter (or any nut butter of choice)
• 1 tsp (a drop) raw coconut nectar OR raw stevia powder 

Chocolate Sauce

(optional) 

• 1 tsp raw cacao powder
• 1 tsp coconut oil, melted
• 1 packet of SweetLeaf stevia or raw stevia powder

OR choose one of these chocolate sauce recipes!

DIRECTIONS:

Pit the date(s), and spread nut butter inside. Drizzle coconut nectar (or sprinkle stevia!) on top, and drizzle (or roll the sates) in chocolate sauce. Repeat for every date and enjoy! 

Another Idea: After coating the dates in chocolate sauce, you can place the chocolate covered dates in the freezer for a few minutes, until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy!  

This is why i love raw desserts :)
