Strawberry Coconut Bon-Bons

Ok, lemme just get this out there, it took me forever to name these things! Know why? Because I really didn’t want to call them Strawberry Coconut Balls. Or fat bombs. I don’t know why, I just couldn’t. Ok, I lie. I know why. Because my mind is is the gutter but I didn’t want these delicious, soft, pink balls associated with… well any other kind of balls. And something about the term fat bombs sounds gross too. So bon bons it is!

I’ve been seeing all sorts of various paleo balls bon bons all over the place. Most use dates and are heavy on the nuts. So I wanted to try and create something different since those seem to have been done already. And I wanted to “spring” ’em up. Even better, strawberries are on sale at local Whole Foods today so it was perfect!

I love that these treats are no-bake. It’s more like mix, roll, freeze. My KIDS can even pull that off. Once you roll these *ahem* bon bons into um, balls, pop ’em in the freezer to set. Don’t worry they won’t shrink up or anything! But they need to harden up a bit. You can also stick them in the fridge for a few hours. I prefer to store them in the freezer though and let one (or two or three) sit out and thaw a few minutes before I eat it. My kids like them frozen, so eat them however you prefer.

BON appetite!

Strawberry Coconut Bon-Bons from the Whole Smiths. Fresh strawberries, coconut butter and flax. Gluten-free, refined sugar-free, paleo friendly.

    Hi. I’m trying to stick to the Wheat Belly diet and since I’m in the stage of trying to lose weight, I was wondering if Xylitol could be substituted for the honey.

      I never use Xylitol so I’m not sure. I say go for it and give it a try though, see if it works for you!

    I have coconut oil or a can of coconut milk but not coconut butter. Is there anything that I can use as a substitute?

      Hmmm, Maybe a mix of the oil, milk and a bit of a nut butter? I haven’t tried it before so don’t hold me to it. But if you like to tinker I say go for it!

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
