medjool dates & almond butter

Like many people, I'm trying to eat less processed food these days. But that means that now, when I need a bit of a snack, I'm at a loss. Usually, I'd grab the box of Triscuits or a piece of toast (wow, I'm pretty exciting!), but an hour later I'd be back in the pantry.



I love Medjool dates, especially chopped in my hot rice cereal in the morning. Today I split a date and filled it with almond butter. Sweet, rich, and so satisfying. It's embarrassingly easy, but then, isn't that the point of snack?

    Have you ever tried stuffing a date with a smoked almond? Really good, processed but good. I too am trying to stay away from processed foods but when it comes to snacks it can be hard.
