This is exactly the kind of dessert I love making when rhubarb and strawberries come into season. Roasting rhubarb with strawberries softens some of its natural tartness and brings out a bright flavor that works especially well in desserts. Topped with whipped coconut cream and a crunchy coconut crumble, it’s the kind of dessert that disappears quickly whether you’re serving friends or just making the most of strawberry season at home.

Prep time:
20 min
Cook time:
25 min
Ingredients for Rhubarb and Strawberries
- 2 pounds rhubarb, cut into 2½-inch pieces
- 2 cups strawberries, halved
- ¾ cup monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ingredients for Coconut Crumble
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, warmed
Ingredients for Coconut Cream
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat unsweetened coconut milk, chilled for at least 3 hours
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Step 2
For the rhubarb and strawberries: Combine the rhubarb and strawberries in a roasting pan with the sweetener, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix well and cover the pan with foil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until softened. Remove the foil and continue baking for 5 minutes, until the liquid thickens and becomes syrupy.
Step 3
For the coconut crumble: Place the coconut flakes in a large nonstick pan and toast over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cinnamon, then the honey or maple syrup and stir to mix well. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
Step 4
For the coconut cream: Scoop the thick coconut cream from the top of the can and place in a large bowl. (The remaining coconut milk can be refrigerated and used for smoothies or cooking.) Add the vanilla and sweetener to the coconut cream and beat with an electric mixer until thickened and smooth with the texture of whipped cream.
Step 5
Scoop the rhubarb and strawberries into bowls, top with coconut cream and some crunchy coconut crumble, and serve.

When you’re in the kitchen, it’s easy to think about antioxidants in terms of what’s on your plate—berries, leafy greens, green tea. And those matter. But what often gets overlooked is that your body is also designed to produce its own internal defense system against oxidative stress. The most important of these is glutathione.
The challenge is that modern life puts more pressure on that system than ever before. Chronic stress, poor sleep, travel, and environmental exposures all increase oxidative demand. At the same time, natural glutathione production tends to decline with age, right when you need it most.
That’s why I’ve been more intentional about supporting it directly, and why Rho’s Liposomal Glutathione has become part of my morning routine. The liposomal format is key here—it helps protect the glutathione as it moves through the digestive system, making it more available for your body to actually use.
It’s not always realistic to get everything you need from food alone, especially when your routine is off, so the one way I stay consistent is with Rho's Liposomal Glutathione.
If you’re looking for a more direct way to support your body’s antioxidant defenses, Rho’s Liposomal Glutathione is a strong place to start. Just use code HYMAN for 20% off sitewide.
