Snack Swap: Cheese-Stuffed Dates


Walk away from that box of chocolates. Don’t reach for that bag of jellybeans. Try taming that sweet tooth with a naturally sweet alternative like this recipe for Cheese-Stuffed Dates.
20 large jellybeans = 13 teaspoons of sugar (52 grams)
This snack swap will give you so much more: natural sweetness, fiber and iron from the dates, plus calcium from the cheese. So this afternoon snack will leave you feeling full and fulfilled.
