@thestomachdoc: Healthy Reese’s Cups With Dates 🍫 Credit @Emma Hollingsworth If you’re Craving something sweet, these date peanut butter cups are one of my favorite easy dessert recipes. Ingredients (per cup): • 1 Medjool date • 2 teaspoons peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter) • 70% dark chocolate, melted (amount depends on the size of the date) Instructions: Slice the date lengthwise and remove the pit. Fill the center with 2 teaspoons of peanut butter. Top or coat with melted 70% dark chocolate. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate hardens. That’s it. Dates contain fiber that can support gut health, digestive health, bowel regularity, fullness, and satiety. They’re naturally sweet and contain beneficial plant compounds called polyphenols. The peanut butter adds healthy fats and makes the dessert more satisfying. And 70% dark chocolate brings more than just flavor. Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols that have been studied for their potential benefits on heart health, vascular health, and gut microbiome health. The combination of fiber from dates, healthy fats from nut butter, and antioxidant-rich dark chocolate creates a simple dessert that tastes indulgent while providing nutrients that can support digestive wellness, healthy eating, fullness, and overall health. Three ingredients. No baking. Fiber-rich. Antioxidant-rich. And tastes like a homemade Reese’s cup.
