Welcome to the Veggie Society friends!
I did two variations of these: half rolled in ground coconut and half rolled in raw cacao powder. They would be lovely coated in beet powder and even matcha or spirulina if you have some on hand.
Note to self: red, white and green coconut balls for Christmas!
Why we love them:
