Ingredients

This strawberry energy ball recipe is easy to make with just a few, basic ingredients listed below.

For the full written recipe with the ingredient measurements, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  • Strawberries, hulled. In this recipe I have used fresh strawberries but frozen strawberries works as well. Just let them defrost a little before you put them in the food processor. 
  • Oats, I used rolled oats (old fashioned oats). Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
  • Dates without pips, preferably medjool dates, they have a soft and creamy consistency and a slight caramel flavour.
  • Chia seeds, they are high in fiber, antioxidants and protein and acts like a thicker in these healthy energy balls and helps hold them together.
  • Nut butter of your choice (I used almond butter) I prefer to use all natural.
  • Vanilla extract, for a hint of vanilla.
  • Shredded coconut, unsweetened, also called desiccated coconut, for rolling.

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

These strawberry balls are fast and easy to make, perfect for meal prep! 

For the full written instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom.

Place all the ingredients in a food processor (except the coconut) and blend until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to thicken, then roll into bite sized balls and coat in coconut. Store them in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Gluten-free – use certified gluten-free rolled oats to make these strawberry protein balls gluten free.
  • Melted dark chocolate – To make these into chocolate covered bliss balls, simply dip in melted chocolate and let set for 20 min in the fridge. 
  • Dried cherries – If you can’t get ahold of dried cherries, they can also be replaced with other fried fruit like, cranberries, dried strawberries or raisins. 
  • Nut butter – Use any nut butter of choice, preferable all natural to homemade like this Pecan Almond Butter. For an allergy friendly recipe, use sun butter instead.

For more bliss ball recipes, thy these Salted caramel bliss balls or these Mango Bliss Balls.

Equipment

Use a high speed food processor to make these strawberry energy balls. If you do not have a food processor, a blender can be used on the chopping program. If using frozen strawberries, let them defrost a little before blending to make it easier for the blender.

Storage

Store these strawberry balls in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 3-4 days for a great grab and go snack. 

They can also be frozen and will keep for around 2 to 3 months. Let them defrost in the fridge, or on the counter if eaten straight away. I do not recommend defrosting them in the microwave since they will melt.

FAQ

Can I freeze these strawberry bliss balls?

Yes! They are great for meal prep and you can easily double the recipe to store some in the freezer. Pack them in an airtight container or freezer friendly ziplock bag, and freeze for 2-3 months.

Are protein balls the same as bliss balls?

They are very similar, but not quite the same. Bliss balls tends to be a little sweeter and often include dates. Protein balls often include protein powder to increase the protein connate and are often not as sweet.
