The Best Way To Snack Healthy
Snacking is hard because it can easily lead to succumbing to convenience, and I think we all know that often times convenience ends up being a less healthy option than what we would go for if we had planned well. So…for us, the best way to snack healthy is to meal prep something that is satisfying, nourishing and gives us a little pick-me-up. These fig and date bliss balls are exactly that! They’re easy to make, and when the most convenient option is a snack we have already made, it wins every time! Take unhealthy options off the table by prepping ahead of time so when hunger strikes, you already have a game plan!
Easy Peasy
These fig and date bliss balls are super easy to make. You just toss everything in a food processor and let the machine do the work. It takes a few minutes to break down all of the ingredients and get to the texture that allows you to roll them into balls, but you can have this snack prepped in 10 minutes or less! Then, you are all set and a healthy option is ready to go in the fridge! Pack a ball or two with you as you head out the door!
Add Bone Broth Protein
We love adding superfoods to our snacks and treats to make them even healthier! Collagen is hands down our most often used superfood – like we use it on the daily! Paleovalley, one of our favorite brands, just launched a new 100% Grass-Fed Bone Broth protein powder! Adding a high-quality collagen powder to your snacks, treats and cooking is a great way to add extra nutrition! Some extra info on the quality and highlights of this Paleovalley 100% Grass-Fed Bone Broth:
Made with 100% grass-fed and finished beef bones, filtered water and no additives or fillers! Made from bones not just the skin or hide – typically collagen protein, while still beneficial, is sourced from the skin of the animal, not its bones. When collagen is sourced from the animal’s skin, we miss out on all of the extra nutrients and restorative benefits of the bones. The bones are where it’s at! No pesticides – Paleovalley verifies with third-party lab tests for over 40 different pesticides and herbicides which have come back negative. 15 grams of protein per serving! Blend it into your morning coffee, matcha, tea, smoothies, etc. or add it to your cooking like these fig and date bliss balls.
