Skip the store bought coconut rolled dates and make your own in under 10 minutes. A quick and clean dessert or snack made with only 4 ingredients.
Recently, I keep seeing the cutest containers of coconut rolled dates at my local Mom’s Organic Market.
Multiple times now the container has almost made it into my cart, until I quickly chastise myself because…I could make that.
So finally I did.
These 4 Ingredient Coconut Almond Rolled Dates are the simplest treat that require only a handful of ingredients you’ve already got in your cabinet.
The week between Christmas and New Years always seems a bit ghost-like, doesn’t it?
We’re daydreaming through a workweek stranded between two major holidays.
The anticipation of the new year is tangible, but 2017 hangs on hard for seven long days.
I simultaneously want to do everything and nothing at the same time, you know?
I haven’t done either very well, though, because Dan caught a nasty cold over the weekend and I caught his.
Maybe I had a few too many cookies.
You bet I’m drinking my kombucha, eating my leafy greens, and manifesting my speedy recovery hard to start off 2018 with wellness.
If you had a few too many cookies, too, or are totally dessert-ed out after a sweet Christmas, these Coconut Almond Rolled Dates are for you.
I know it’s a bit cliche, but like most of the population, I’m focusing on my sugar intake in January.
I always strive to be refined sugar free and low sugar where possible to keep my blood sugar levels regular.
These treats are sweet only from the dates themselves, without any added sugars!
One bite of these are you will have no doubt that dates are indeed nature’s candy.
Enjoy these 4 Ingredient Coconut Almond Rolled Dates as a deliciously simple snack, dessert, or anytime treat.
I think the shredded coconut makes them look festive and snowy, making them the perfect healthy addition to your New Years Eve spread.
For a more formal presentation, try tolling the mixture into one giant “roll” and slicing into round that way to serve.
I’m fond of these cuties as single serve “rolls”, though.
Try them with an additional almond centerpiece to add some crunch!
