Coconut Lemon Drops
Dessert

Overview
A sweet treat! This recipe was sent to me by a patient; I added the lemon zest and juice for a real pop of flavor. Lemons are high in Vitamin C, which is a powerful anti-oxidant, and the coconut meat and oil contain "good fats", better for blood sugar balance and cholesterol. It's nice to have sweet treat that's easy to make and you control the ingredients. Eat sparingly because they are addictive! Phase One-Repair
