Stuffed Date Treat

This is a beautiful, simple way to honor a sweet craving without spiraling into mindless indulgence.

This treat is grounding, satisfying, and helps prevent the “cookie spiral” that often follows a craving.

Ingredients (1–2 servings)

• 2–4 Medjool dates, pitted

• 1–2 teaspoons almond butter or walnut butter

• Pinch of cinnamon

• Pinch of cardamom

• Optional: crushed walnuts or pistachios on top

• Optional: 1–2 cacao nibs for extra richness

Instructions

1. Slice each date open and remove the pit if needed

2. Fill with almond or walnut butter

3. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and cardamom

4. Add crushed nuts or cacao nibs if desired

5. Sit. Take a breath. Eat slowly and intentionally.

This treat is grounding, satisfying, and helps prevent the “cookie spiral” that often follows a craving.

Ayurvedic note: Dates are warming and grounding. Nut butter adds stability and protein. Cinnamon and cardamom help regulate blood sugar and satisfy sweet taste without excess.

Best enjoyed after a meal or as a mindful afternoon ritual.
