The Doctors: Healthy Sweets + Coconut Popcorn Balls Recipe

The Drs: Healthy Dessert

The Doctors had nutritionist Keri Glassman on their show to share her secrets for making delicious desserts without all the guilt. She already shared her recipe for Date Brownies, and then moved on to share her recipe for coconut popcorn balls. Coconut is a naturally sweet food with saturated fat that is actually better for you because it helps you burn fat more efficiently and gives your metabolism a boost.

Honey can help control blood sugar as well, and Dr Travis Stork said every ingredient is good for you, so go ahead and enjoy the popcorn balls in moderation!
