🌿 Postpartum Health Benefits: Dates are high in natural sugars and iron, supporting recovery and energy. Coconut oil provides MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) for quick-burning fuel. Cinnamon stabilizes blood sugar, reducing postpartum energy crashes. Great for one-handed snacking during breastfeeding
