Shredded coconut: I use unsweetened desiccated coconut for these chocolate coconut balls as it’s a lot easier to work with. You can buy these from the store or, if you’re feeling brave, make your own from fresh coconut.For making these Healthy Coconut Bites you will need only 4 ingredients - shredded unsweetened coconut, coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract.

They’ll keep for up to five days like this. And since I'm a huge fan of energy balls - Turmeric Energy Balls and Carrot Cake Ballsare my favorite, making these Healthy Coconut Bites was just natural thing to do when I rediscovered coconut. I'm really a big fan of coconut. A BIG fan! But until a year ago I didn't know that eating a coconut is actually really healthy for my body. To be perfectly honest, until a year ago I didn't know much about that tropical splendor.
