Bacon Wrapped Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates. 

Yep you read that right.  And they are as good as they sound. The sweetness of the Date with the Goat Cheese and Bacon is to die for. Thses are great little appetizers everyone will love. Unless that person is just weird. Because who doesn't love those 3 things??  And super simple to make!  

What you need 

-Medjool dates

-Goat Cheese

-Bacon

-toothpicks

Slice the Dates down the side and remove the pit. 

Stuff a little bit of Goat Cheese in them. Just enough where you can still close it.  Then wrap a piece of Bacon around it cutting off the extra bacon. Place toothpick in it to hold it together.  Place on a cookie sheet

Cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes and then flip them over and cook for another 8-10 minutes. Watch them as your oven might cook differently then mine. When done pull out and put them on a paper towel to drain extra bacon grease. Cool just enough so you don't burn your tongue and eat them up!!!

Enjoy!

These are super easy to make and just keep in the fridge when your having a craving or just need a little snack. 2 Protein balls are a perfect snack and good way to get some protein in you to curb those cravings.  Keep them in the fridge to keep solid and keep covered. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 Scoops Whey Protein

5 Tbsp Almond Butter or Peanut Butter 

1 Tbsp Honey

2 Tbsp Coconut Butter

1 Tbsp Chia Seeds

2 Tbsp Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl with your hands making sure it's well mixed. It should end up looking and feeling like cookie dough so if it's too dry add more Almond Butter. Once it's mixed well take small bits and roll into balls. If it's moist enough it will stay together if it's too dry it will fall apart so just add more almond butter.  Place on a plate. Cover and put in refridgerator to chill. Keep the protein balls in fridge and pull 1 or 2 out for a snack. This recipe only make about 8-10 depending on how big you make them.  Enjoy!
