What this plate gives you
Two medjool dates are about 130 calories of sugar and 3 g of fibre, and the tablespoon of almond butter about 100 calories and 9 g of fat, which makes this the sweetest snack in the library at 231 calories, 12 percent of a 2,000-calorie day. Two dates, not four: the number is the whole recipe. Press the pit out with a thumb and the date opens like a pocket.
Swaps
- Peanut butter: the same calories.
- A pinch of flaky salt on top: no change to the numbers.
- One date: 65 calories fewer.
Keeping it
Dates keep for months in a sealed box; filled, they keep a week in the fridge.
