Made these coconut snowballs for a friend’s baby shower last weekend. So quick and easy to make, delicious, and best of all free from refined sugar. Moreover, they’re loaded with healthy fats, dietary fiber, and minerals such as iron and zinc that play an important role in our health and wellness.

  • Roll into balls and coat in some extra coconut shreds, if desired, and enjoy!
