- Combine Ingredients: Pour the melted coconut butter evenly over the cereal. Then, crush the freeze-dried strawberries into small pieces and sprinkle them generously over the coated cereal.
- Mix Thoroughly: Gently mix all the ingredients together, ensuring the cereal is evenly coated with melted coconut butter and sprinkled with strawberry bits.
