DATE ENERGY BALLS WITH COLLAGEN

If you’re looking for a snack that feels indulgent but is secretly doing all the hard work behind the scenes, these postpartum date balls are it. Perfect for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, they’re packed with natural sweetness, protein, and healthy fats to support your body through every stage. The dates provide a gentle energy boost (because let’s face it, we all need one), collagen helps with tissue repair and skin elasticity, and almonds deliver a dose of minerals to keep you glowing. Oh, and they’re so delicious you might just make these a lifelong snack.  

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted  

- 1 cup almonds  

- 2 tablespoons collagen powder  

- 2 tablespoons coconut oil  

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  

- 1/4 teaspoon salt  

- Unsweetened shredded coconut (for rolling)  

METHOD:  

1. In a food processor, blend the almonds until they’re finely ground—but not so long that you end up with almond butter (tempting as that might be).  

2. Add the dates, collagen powder, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until the mixture transforms into a sticky, glorious dough.  

3. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls. Embrace the mess; it’s worth it.  

4. Roll each ball in shredded coconut, giving them that final touch of perfection.  

5. Pop them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Trust me, the wait is worth it.  

These date balls aren’t just snacks—they’re bites of nourishment designed to keep you feeling strong and supported through all stages of motherhood. Make a batch (or two), and let these little gems do their magic.
