Date & Peanut Butter Bite with Sea Salt – SIBO-Friendly Treat
When you’re managing SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), sweet cravings can be tricky — many commercial sweets are high in sugars, artificial sweeteners, or fibers that ferment and trigger symptoms. This date filled with natural peanut butter and a pinch of sea salt is a simple homemade treat designed to satisfy a sweet tooth without excess ingredients that commonly ferment in sensitive guts.
Why This Treat Can Fit a SIBO Diet
Uses just one small date — in very small portions, some people with SIBO may tolerate the natural sugars.
Natural peanut butter (100% peanuts, no added sugar) adds healthy fat that can help slow sugar absorption.
A pinch of coarse sea salt enhances flavor without added fermentable ingredients.
No gluten, no lactose, no artificial sweeteners.
Ingredients (Makes 1 Bite)
1 date (Medjool or similar), pitted
1 teaspoon natural peanut butter (100% peanuts, unsweetened)
A small pinch of coarse sea salt
How to Make It
Open the date and remove the pit.
Fill the cavity with about 1 teaspoon of natural peanut butter.
Sprinkle lightly with a pinch of coarse sea salt to balance sweetness.
Enjoy slowly, either on its own or with a warm infusion.
SIBO-Friendly Tips
Portion matters: This is meant as a tiny treat — recommended 1 bite only.
Best enjoyed after a meal, not on an empty stomach, to improve tolerance.
If you’re in a strict SIBO phase, you might want to avoid natural dates or try them later on.
Variations: swap peanut butter for natural almond butter, add a tiny pinch of unsweetened cocoa, or chill first if that feels easier on your digestion.
