Looking for an easy and healthy snack?
I can’t make food fast enough and my family is in the kitchen gobbling it up. Well, I guess it’s good that everyone still has a healthappetite. We have to be grateful for the things that are working well in life, right?
When it comes to snacks I love S W E E T treats, however I don’t want a lot of added sugar. I’ve got a super simple sweet treat that melts in your mouth and contains no added sugar and is jam-packed healthy, omega-3 fats, as well as protein and fiber.
A handful of California walnuts is a versatile snack and can satisfy any taste preference, from savory to sweet. Regardless of your flavor preference, walnuts are the only nut to provide an excellent source of the plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, ALA, with 2.5 grams per ounce.
The best part of this recipe is that it’s super easy to assemble – no cooking required. Plus, it’s portion-controlled and only takes six simple ingredients and a food processor – and it’s made in minutes. During these shelter-in-place days, it’s great to have simple treats to whip up with your family, right? This is a good one to try!
I love D A T E S as they are nature’s candy to me. I pop a plain date in my mouth for a sweet treat any time of day. They are filled with fiber and potassium, which bodes well for your total body wellness – your heart, brain, cell and gut health.
