Instructions
- Make the filling: In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, PBfit, and protein powder until smooth and thick.
- Prep the dates: Slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit, keeping the date mostly intact so it can close back up.
- Stuff the dates: Spoon about 1–1½ tablespoons of the protein filling into each date.
- Sprinkle a small amount of crushed gluten-free pretzels inside if using.
- Seal: Gently press the dates closed so the filling stays inside.
- Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between rounds until smooth.
- Dip & coat: Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, coating evenly.
- Freeze: Place on parchment paper and freeze for 1 hour, or until set.
- Store: Keep stored in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat.
