Fit Foodies is a free, 6-week online program that provides the tools and support you need to lose weight, feel great, and achieve your goals. Participants receive daily emails with tips and recipes designed specifically for them based on their goals, plus access to a private forum where they can connect with other members who are working towards similar outcomes.
The first two weeks are all about mindset: getting into a positive headspace so that when it comes time for actual eating changes (week 3), they don’t feel deprived or overwhelmed but instead excited about what they’re going to eat once they get started!
Prep Time:15 minutes
- Prep time: 15 minutes
No cooking required. You can make these ahead of time and store them in the fridge. These bars are a great snack to have around when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to set yourself up for a sugar crash later on.
3tbsp chopped dates
- Chop the dates. First, chop your dates into small pieces. Use a sharp knife and cut the date in half, then quarters, then eighths.
- Measure out 3 tablespoons of chopped dates. Once you’ve got all your chopped-up dates in a bowl (and let’s be honest here—you could probably eat them as is), use a measuring spoon to measure out 3 tablespoons worth of them.
1/2 cup oat flour
Oat flour is a great alternative to wheat flour. It’s high in fibre, protein and iron, making it a good choice for vegans and those who prefer gluten-free foods. Oat flour also contains B vitamins such as niacin and vitamin B 6, which can help lower your risk of heart disease.
1tbsp melted chocolate
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl by microwaving it for 30 seconds. Stir well, then microwave again for another 30 seconds. Let cool for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so to keep the chocolate from getting clumpy.
Method
- Combine the dates, peanut butter and oat flour in a bowl.
- Use your hands to shape into bars and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or greased).
- Freeze for an hour to set firm, then dip each bar top in melted chocolate (you can use dairy-free chocolate if desired).
- Garnish with additional chopped peanuts if you like!
