Crispy cauliflower chips are low in carbs and can be prepared either in the oven or in the air fryer. Plus, it only requires cauliflower, Parmesan cheese, and spices to prepare! Replace the Italian seasoning with ranch seasoning or your favorite spice blend for a different flavor.

These sweet energy balls take their inspiration from the classic Italian dessert tiramisu. Instant espresso powder adds bitterness, while dates provide sweetness to create a balanced flavour. A dusting of cocoa powder at the end mimics the candy’s signature look. When rolling the balls, keep a small bowl of water nearby to keep your fingers moist, this will make rolling them much easier. Don’t skip refrigeration, as it helps the mixture stay together.

Peanuts do double duty in this easy snack recipe: Peanut butter creates a creamy center while chopped roasted peanuts add a welcome crunch to the outside. We prefer to use natural peanut butter, which is oilier and more pliable, to help create the gooey center. Dates add natural sweetness to this healthy snack. Use any remaining date mixture to fill any holes in the energy balls. Pop these morsels in your lunchbox for a delicious morning or afternoon snack.
