    A sticky and sweet date and nutty filling spread between Whole Wheat Fiber Rich Biscuits.

    Almost everyone enjoys having evening or morning tea with some light snacks. And if are a tea lover like me, cookies or biscuits would probably be your favorite tea companion. No matter which hot beverage you enjoy everyday, switching to healthy snacks is always a good idea for your health. I love digestive biscuits, but thanks to my sugar craving that persuaded me to turn these whole wheat slices into a delicious healthy treat to satisfy my sweet tooth.

    Why These Date-Filled Sandwich Biscuits are a smart choice

    • When you substitute dates for table sugar, you get a bunch of other nutrients along with your sugar! Sugar is just food that’s been stripped of all fiber, vitamins, and minerals, so why not make your treats sweet with something that actually provides all of those? Dates are high in calories, but unlike sugar, the calories obtained from dates come with a lot of nutritional properties.
    • Dates are rich in potassium, iron and other beneficial plant compounds. The high soluble fiber content helps in fighting off sugar cravings and stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the intestines. I prefer to use dates in dessert as a replacement for sugar.
