If chocolate-covered strawberries and Bounty bars had a healthy, protein-packed baby, these Strawberries And Cream Protein Bars would be it.

They are creamy, fruity, chocolatey, and completely irresistible.

Made with freeze-dried strawberries, coconut cream, shredded coconut, and vanilla protein powder, these no-bake bars have a soft, melt-in-your-mouth centre wrapped in a rich dark chocolate coating that snaps with every bite. They taste like something you would find in a gourmet chocolate shop, yet they are made with wholesome ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

That’s what Blended Bites is all about – creating treats that feel indulgent while nourishing your body at the same time.

Why You Will Love These Bars

There are plenty of protein bars on supermarket shelves, but many contain long ingredient lists, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives. These homemade bars are different. They are made with real food that not only tastes amazing but also provides lasting energy and satisfaction.

Each bite delivers:

✔ Creamy coconut
✔ Sweet strawberry flavour
✔ Rich dark chocolate
✔ Plenty of protein
✔ Healthy fats
✔ Natural sweetness

It’s everything you love about a chocolate bar, made the Blended Bites way.

The Secret Ingredient: Freeze-Dried Strawberries

Fresh strawberries are delicious, but they contain a lot of water, which can make no-bake bars soft and difficult to set. Freeze-dried strawberries solve that problem beautifully.

Because the moisture has been removed, they deliver an intense strawberry flavour while keeping the mixture firm. They also create that gorgeous natural pink colour without needing any artificial colouring.

A little goes a surprisingly long way.

Why Protein Matters

Adding protein isn’t just about increasing the nutritional value of a recipe. Protein helps:

✔ Keep you fuller for longer
✔ Support muscle repair and recovery
✔ Slow the absorption of carbohydrates
✔ Promote stable blood sugar
✔ Reduce afternoon cravings

Combined with the healthy fats from coconut and the fibre from the strawberries, these bars become a snack that genuinely satisfies. Instead of reaching for another sweet treat half an hour later, you will actually feel nourished. That is the beauty of balanced ingredients.

Coconut Makes Everything Better

Coconut cream gives these bars their rich, silky texture, while shredded coconut provides chewiness and structure. Together they create that classic coconut filling that is reminiscent of your favourite chocolate bars – but without all the refined sugar.

The coconut also adds healthy fats that help make these bars incredibly satisfying.

Perfect For:

🍫 Healthy desserts
💪 Post-workout snacks
☕ Afternoon coffee breaks
🎁 Homemade gifts
❄️ Freezer treats

They are perfect whenever you need something sweet that actually keeps you going.

Servings 8

Ingredients

Strawberry CreamFilling

• 2 cups desiccated coconut
• 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 cup coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into small pieces
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt

Chocolate Coating

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Optional Decoration

• Extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries
• Shredded coconut
• White chocolate drizzle

Instructions

• Line a 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting. Or use a silicon bar mold.

  In a medium bowl combine shredded coconut, protein powder, freeze-dried strawberries, and sea salt.

  Add coconut cream, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.

  Mix until everything comes together into a thick mixture.

  If needed, add another tablespoon of coconut cream.

  Press the mixture into the lined loaf tin or small square container.

  Smooth the surface.

  Freeze for about 45 minutes until firm. 

Chocolate Coating

• Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Remove the bars and after checking they are firm and set, remove from pan using the parchment paper handles and cut into 8-10 bars or pop out of molds.

  Working quickly, using two forks, dip one bar at a time into the bowl of melted chocolate until it is fully coated. Lift the bar from the bowl of chocolate and let any excess drip off, then place it onto a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with the remaining bars.

  Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl. 

  Sprinkle immediately with extra freeze-dried strawberries or coconut before the chocolate sets.

  Refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened.

  Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

  Blended Bites Tips💡

  Use full-fat coconut cream for the creamiest filling.

  Freeze the bars solid before dipping to make coating easier.

  White chocolate protein powder gives an amazing strawberries-and-cream flavour.

  Add collagen peptides if you would like an extra protein boost.

  Store in the freezer for a firmer texture that tastes like an ice cream bar.
