Coconut Date Truffles (No Refined Sugar)

The Valentine’s Treat That Fuels — Not Fakes — Your Body

A Valentine’s Treat That Fuels Your Body

This Valentine’s Day, we’re making our own chocolate treats.

Not because packaged candy is “bad.”
But because when you know better, you do better.

We want to know every single ingredient going into our bodies — and of course, into our daughter’s. No refined sugar. No fillers. No preservatives we can’t pronounce. Just real food that tastes incredible and supports your health.

And trust me — these blow away anything in a plastic wrapper!

Coconut Date Truffles

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Medjool dates (pitted, soft)

  • ¾ cup almond flour

  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 1–2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch Celtic sea salt

  • 1–2 tbsp water (if needed)

What We Added

  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein (for flavor + muscle support)

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (for creamy richness)

  • 1 tbsp Cacao powder (chocolate version)

Optional Add-Ins

  • Orange zest

  • Crushed pistachios

  • Melted dark chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Add dates to a food processor and pulse until a sticky paste forms.

  2. Add almond flour, coconut, coconut oil, vanilla, salt, whey protein, and peanut butter.

  3. Blend until mixture sticks together.

  4. If dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time.

  5. Roll into small bite-sized balls.

  6. Roll in coconut, cacao powder, pistachios — or drizzle with dark chocolate.

  7. Chill 20–30 minutes before serving.

Why We Make Our Own

When you train hard and live intentionally, treats don’t disappear — they upgrade.

These truffles:

  • Use natural sugars from dates

  • Include healthy fats to support hormones

  • Provide protein to help stabilize blood sugar

  • Skip the refined ingredients that cause energy crashes

Make these for Valentine’s Day and let me know how they turn out.

If you make them, tag me and share them on Instagram — I love seeing what you create. Your support truly means a lot. https://www.instagram.com/brysenfrench/?hl=en
