Vegan Easy Pistachio Date Bites
As a plant-based nutritionist, I love this recipe because it gives you a naturally sweet, fiber-rich dessert without any added sugar. The dates offer potassium + gut-loving fiber, while pistachios bring plant protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants that keep blood sugar steadier than traditional treats. Paired with dark chocolate, this becomes a satisfying little bite that feels indulgent but supports energy, cravings, and hormone balance.

Pistachio Butter (makes extra):
• 1 cup pistachios (160 g)
• 2–4 tbsp melted coconut oil

Bites:
• 8–10 Medjool dates
• 1/3 cup pistachio butter (80 ml)
• 4–6 pieces 80% dark chocolate

How to Make It
1. Open each date, remove the pit, and place them flat on a parchment-lined plate or pan.
2. Press each date with a glass to smash it as thin as you’d like.
3. To make pistachio butter: blend pistachios with 2 tbsp oil until smooth, adding more oil only if needed.
4. Top each smashed date with pistachio butter.
5. Melt the dark chocolate and spoon it over the bites.
6. Sprinkle with flaky salt and crushed pistachios.
7. Chill in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate sets.
