A healthy spin on a classic sweet treat, these cute donuts are perfect to satisfy any sweet tooth craving, topped with a rich, dairy-free glaze made from monk fruit and lime—without all the refined sugar and flour found in traditional donuts. Coconut provides plenty of energy-boosting medium-chain triglycerides and, as a bonus, limes contain vitamin C, which supports a healthy immune system. The combination of lime and coconut provide a fresh, tropical flare.
Typically, sweet treats and desserts contain sugar and refined grains which can spike your blood sugar and suppress your immune system. This treat uses only monk fruit as a sweetener. Monk fruit has a zero glycemic index and doesn’t spike your blood sugar.
