Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut, divided
- 1½ teaspoons powdered stevia, divided
- 2 teaspoons beet juice
- 2 teaspoons carrot juice
- ⅛ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoons spinach juice
- 4 teaspoons red cabbage juice, divided
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- In 6 small bowls, combine the following:
- Red: 2 tablespoons shredded coconut + ¼ teaspoon powdered stevia + the beet juice
- Orange: 2 tablespoons shredded coconut + ¼ teaspoon powdered stevia + the carrot juice
- Yellow: 2 tablespoons shredded coconut + ¼ teaspoon powdered stevia + the ground turmeric
- Green: 2 tablespoons shredded coconut + ¼ teaspoon powdered stevia + the spinach juice
- Blue: 2 tablespoons shredded coconut + ¼ teaspoon powdered stevia + 2 teaspoons red cabbage juice + ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- Purple: 2 tablespoons shredded coconut + ¼ teaspoon powdered stevia + 2 teaspoons red cabbage juice
- Line 2 or 3 dehydrator trays with parchment paper and spread out the colored coconut, keeping the colors separate, and the remaining uncolored coconut. Dehydrate at 95°F for about 6 hours, until fully dried. Store in a zip-top bag in the freezer.
Notes
QUICK TIP: These Rainbow Coconut Sprinkles can be made in either a dehydrator or the oven. I wrote the recipe for a dehydrator, simply because i have a large one that holds eight large trays, so it’s convenient for me to use this rather than tying up my oven. But don’t go out and purchase a dehydrator if you don’t already have one. Simply put your oven on the very lowest setting and decrease the dehydration time. Watch the coconut sprinkles closely to ensure that they don’t become toasted— the golden tinting from toasting diminishes the bright colors that make these sprinkles fun.
