Creamy, fruity, and perfectly sweet – the ultimate Blended Bites freezer bar.

If you love that cashew-coconut-strawberry combo (think summer vibes, creamy textures, and just the right amount of sweetness), these no bake Strawberry Cashew Protein Bars are going to be on repeat in your kitchen.

They are soft, chewy and packed with flavour  – all while being protein-rich and made from simple, nourishing ingredients. No oven. No complicated steps. Just blend, press, chill, drizzle… and try not to eat the whole batch at once.

Very Blended Bites.

Why These Bars Work

The base of these bars is built on wholesome ingredients that create that signature thick, fudgy texture. Think oats and cashews for structure and slow-release energy, nut butter for richness, and protein powder for staying power. The coconut element comes in three forms – shredded coconut for texture and coconut oil and milk for that smooth, luscious finish.

Strawberries bring natural sweetness and brightness. Instead of artificial flavouring, we use intensely flavoured freeze-dried strawberries in the drizzle, which adds a pop of colour and fresh flavour that cuts through the coconut and cashew layer beautifully.

The result? A slightly chewy base and a naturally sweet strawberry topping that makes these bars look as good as they taste.

They are perfect as:

A post-workout snack
A mid-afternoon energy boost
A healthier dessert
A freezer treat on warm days

And because they are no bake, they are ideal for meal prep.

Make them once, slice, store, and grab whenever cravings hit. 🌸

Ingredients

Bar Base

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup cashews, soaked 3+ hours and drained
• 1/2 cup cashew or almond butter
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
• 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-4 tablespoons coconut milk (if needed for blending) 

Strawberry Drizzle

• 1 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberries
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2-4 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)

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.

  In a food processor, blend oats and cashews until slightly broken down.

  Add nut butter, coconut, protein powder, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla and coconut milk if needed. Blend until a thick dough forms.

  Lastly add freeze-dried strawberries and pulse a couple of times to combine but still leave chunks for pops of colour and flavour.

  Press mixture into the lined tin. Place in the fridge to set while preparing the drizzle.

Strawberry Drizzle

• Crush the dried strawberries with a mortar and pestle. Add in the coconut oil and maple syrup. Stir until everything is combined and drizzle it over the bars

  Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or freeze for 45–60 minutes until firm.

  Slice into 8-10 bars or more smaller squares.

  Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months. These bars are especially delicious slightly chilled for that coconutty texture.
