Stuffed Dates
Submitted by:Jesse Kropelnicki
I love this simple recipe as a snack! I typically just use the walnuts without goat cheese throughout the year, but the addition of goat cheese makes it a great holiday party snack! As far as core diet items go, this one is calorie dense, and really helps fill you up during those heavy training weeks where the calorie burns are high.
Ingredients
- 1 container of Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup walnuts, halved
- 1/2 cup of soft goat cheese (optional)
Instructions
1Remove pits from dates; replace with 1/2 walnut. Or, Slice date down the middle and stuff with walnut peices.
2A modification to this recipe which adds a bit more fat is to slice the date down the middle, stuff with goat cheese AND walnut! Nice party snack for the holidays.
