Medjool dates are one of the most nutrient-dense fruits you can get your hands on. And double as the perfect vehicle to enjoy this childhood fav in a better-for-you way.

All you need are 3 ingredients to make this leveled up childhood fav that is vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. If you are really want to go all the refined sugar-free way with us, ditch the store-bought jelly and muddle fresh strawberries instead. The natural sweetness of the date balances the tartness of the strawberries so you won't even miss the jelly😉 Yet we can't argue that the heart wants what the heart wants...and if it is jelly, we only have one question for you...team grape 🍇 or team strawberry 🍓?!

Ingredients you'll need:

1. Joolies Dates
  - You can't stuff a date without a date! We love using our pitted option for these, but whole work just as well! Just be sure to remove the pit😉If you're running low on your stock of dates, you can buy some in bulk right here or in our 2 pack right here!
2. Peanut Butter
  - Creamy or crunchy, either one gets the job done! Whatever your pick is, we recommend using a peanut butter with no added oils or sugars. Feel free to swap in a different nut/seed butter if so desired. Some of our favorites are 365 by Whole Foods and Spread The Love.
3. Fresh Strawberries (or favorite jelly)
  - For a totally refined sugar free snack, muddled fresh strawberries are a quick and easy swap for your regular jelly. Plus strawberries contain potent antioxidant power and have been known to help reduce inflammation.
