Ingredients you'll need:
-
- Joolies Cinnamon Date Syrup
- This gives our snack that caramel flavor and texture that will make you think you're eating a caramel-dipped apple, except this is made 100% with 1 ingredient: medjool dates!
- Apples
- This acts as the "chips" of our nachos. Green, red, pink lady, you can use whatever apple is your favorite or in season!
- Peanut Butter
- This adds healthy fats and protein which will help to keep you fuller longer. Feel free to use any nut/seed butter. Some of our favorites are
- Coconut Flakes
- We recommend using unsweetened or even toasted flakes would be delicious! If you're not a fan of coconut, feel free to omit it.
- Pumpkin Seeds
- These add a nice crunch into the mix and great benefits like magnesium, iron, antioxidants and much more. Feel free to swap for a different seed/nut!
- Fresh Lemon/Lime Juice
- You know how apples can brown super quick? Just squeeze some fresh lemon or lime juice and toss them in it so they stay fresh longer.
