Strawberries are low in carbohydrates, high in fiber, and rich in blood sugar-stabilizing polyphenols. Paired with the slightly sweet flavor coconut butter imparts, these treats make a luscious, melt-in-your mouth dessert or quick snack. Start out with one ball and if after 15 minutes you feel like eating another one would benefit you, go for it. The beauty of these is that a little can go a long way, so play around with what your body needs for that particular day.
1. Place shredded coconut on a plate and set aside.
2. Place coconut butter, coconut oil, strawberries, monk fruit, and vanilla powder in a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes.
3. Cool the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
4. Spoon out about 2 tablespoons at a time and shape into balls. Roll in coconut to cover. Chill in the refrigerator in a glass container. Best enjoyed cold.
