However, she suggested that: 

*Don’t eat with meals – lunch/breakfast/dinner.
*Eat it as a midmeal (a meal in itself).
*Don’t over eat it – it is calorie-rich, so stick to 1-2 laddoos only.
*Must eat if you have vitamin D deficiency, B12 deficiency, and poor calcium levels.
*Great for pregnant women, kids, and senior citizens.
*Eat only in winter season or cold region. Best to avoid during summers.
*Preferably make at home – using jaggery and sesame, ghee, peanuts.
*The ones you get in market contain artificial flavours/liquid glucose etc.

In another Instagram post, Ayurvedic practitioner Dr Dixa Bhavsar also shared how coconut jaggery laddoos help “keep sweet cravings at bay during winter”.

“They are best for anybody who has thyroid, low haemoglobin (anemia), hormonal imbalance, sweet cravings, excessive appetite and also for everybody who has got a sweet tooth,” she said.

As per Dr Bhavsar, coconut is rich in fibre, protein, and cooling in nature while jaggery is iron rich and warming which makes it a wonderful food for winter. “These laddoos are healthy and even kids will love it. You can add dry fruits for more nutrition. For winters, I suggest adding sesame seeds to it,” she said while sharing the recipe.
