Mint Almond Latte and Peanut Butter Dates

mint almond tea and pb dates

OKAY I have sorted out my post-workout snack for the post greek yogurt era, for winter I definitely want something warm so I pulled together this tea latte, but decaf because bedtime, and then the theme for post workout is fruits and nuts, so these dates stuffed with peanut butter, actually I guess all I've done is leveled the mint tea up to a mint latte. It's a good upgrade, though! It's really nice. I also have upgraded my peanut butter from Jif to Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter, I may have told you I got that tip from Heidi.

I simplified the preparation, too. Which is good because I don't actually make this myself, I get home and the sweetie man brings me my snack so it has to be not fussy.

almond milk
water,
optional
mint tea
dates
peanut butter

All you do is heat a mug of almond milk in the microwave until hot, you can cut the almond milk with water to your liking. I would think at least half almond milk, or you could do all almond milk, or anywhere in between. Then drop a tea bag in the hot milk.

He just brings me the box of dates and the jar of peanut butter, and I stuff the dates with peanut butter with the spoon and stuff them in my mouth.
