2-Ingredient Date Almond Bites (Air Fryer Magic)
This recipe is proof that simple plant-based food can be incredibly satisfying. All you do is mix 2 cups almond flour with ½ cup date paste, roll into balls, press an almond on top (optional) and air fry at 350°F for 10 minutes. That’s it. You can drizzle a little dark chocolate on top if you want—but honestly, they’re delicious just as they are.
As a plant-based nutritionist, I love recommending recipes like this because they’re made entirely from whole plants, naturally sweetened, and packed with nutrients that support long-term health. Almond flour provides healthy fats, vitamin E, and a bit of protein for satiety, while date paste adds fiber, potassium, and natural sweetness without refined sugar. This is the kind of treat that supports blood sugar balance, gut health, and sustained energy—not spikes and crashes.
Eating more plants in 2026 isn’t about perfection or restriction; it’s about choosing simple, nourishing foods more often that reduce inflammation, support heart health, feed your microbiome, and help you feel good in your body long term. Small swaps like this truly add up.
