Easy strawberry dessert

Filed under: Nutrition: Health

When it comes to food, I enjoy baking and I enjoy finding healthy (or, heck, healthy-ish) food that my children like to eat. So, when I saw this post at Vegan Lunch Box, I had to do a double take. Strawberries, white chocolate and coconut? Sign me up!

(Yes, I know that chocolate and coconut aren't things that should be eaten all the time, but I'll over look that aspect for the strawberries.)

Jennifer's recipe called for vegan white chocolate, which we didn't have on hand at our store. So, if you're not vegan, you can make this recipe with regular old white chocolate, if you are vegan, get the kind that works best for you.

Basically, melt the chocolate and dip the strawberries in it. Roll the strawberry in coconut and place on wax paper. I have to admit, I had to make extra because my husband and I ended up eating several before the kids even woke from their naps.

I'm considering making a version that uses vanilla yogurt instead of the chocolate, though I'm not sure how it will turn out. Any other dessert recipes that have some form of a good-for-you aspect?
