These bite-sized, protein-rich truffles are an easy, no-bake treat that deliver rich strawberry flavor in every bite along with natural caramel-ly sweetness of dates creating a perfectly balanced sweetness.

It was time for a new snack ball, bliss ball, energy ball, protein bite recipe – whatever you call them they are everywhere. After all, whoever is responsible for the idea that we should mash a bunch of healthy ingredients into one little ball as a snack is an absolute genius in my book.

Little spheres of snacking. Little orbs of awesome.

They are one of the easiest things to make, and, are a perfect little nutrient-dense bite for a satisfying and beneficial snack!  After all, who doesn’t love a good protein/energy ball or bar? They are among the most tasty, filling, and convenient healthy snack ideas you can enjoy. If you are looking to make homemade energy balls, though, then you have probably got an inkling that DIY’ing it has certain advantages.

The main draw with going the homemade route is the infinite customizability. When you make your own healthy treats, you never have to compromise on getting exactly what you are looking for. You can also save money by making your own healthy homemade snacks and they can taste way better than anything you can buy at the store. I love having my freezer stocked with energy balls like these ones for pre-workout snacks or whenever I just want a ‘lil somethin’.

If you are looking for a simple and healthy energizing treat or post workout snack, THESE are exactly what you need! If you are a strawberry and white chocolate fan like I am, then oh my gosh do you need these in your life.

Dipped in white chocolate and creamy blended cashew nuts, they have a smooth and sweet coating that makes them irresistible. Chill these truffles before serving to let the flavors meld and enjoy them as a refreshing, fruity dessert or a quick, indulgent snack. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or anytime you need a touch of sweetness. You can whip these truffles up for an edible gift for your loved ones in no time.

I don’t hold back with the flavor here in these strawberry truffles, thanks to freeze dried strawberries that pack all the delicious intense flavours of freshly picked strawberries but with a sweet crunchy texture. Another reason why they are the best snack ever is that these fruits taste even sweeter than fresh fruits. This is because when water is removed from the fruit, it concentrates the sugars in the fruit, making it taste sweeter.

These strawberry white chocolate truffles are an easy dessert to make. They are also great for gifting. You can also customize and decorate them to your liking.

The white chocolate ganache filling is packed with freeze dried strawberries that brings an intense burst of strawberry flavours. The sweet yet fresh centre is coated in a delicious white chocolate shell and then topped with more crushed freeze-dried strawberries.

The secret to perfect strawberry truffles is to use freeze-dried strawberries instead of fresh strawberries. The freeze-dried strawberries will provide a concentrated and intense strawberry flavor to the truffles, while the white chocolate will add a creamy and smooth texture.

No need to use fresh strawberries here so you can make these strawberry white chocolate truffles all year long. And because the white chocolate provides all the sweetness you need, this recipe is made with no added sugar! And the good news is that you don’t have to eat them all at once! You can store them in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing you to savor them whenever you have a sweet tooth.

They are easy to make. With just a few simple steps, you can create a batch of these delicious truffles in no time. Simply combine the ingredients, chill the mixture, roll into balls, dip in melted chocolate, and you have a beautiful and tasty treat that everyone will love!

Word of warning here….These bad boy strawberry protein truffles are dangerously delicious. One bite and you will be reaching for another, swept up in the delicious flavor combination of strawberry + white chocolate.

Servings 15

Ingredients

• 1 cup oat flour (oats blended to a flour)
• 3/4 cup freeze dried strawberries
• 1/2 cup dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
• 1/2 cup cashew butter
• 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

White Chocolate Coating

• 1/2 cup cashews, soaked 3+ hours and drained
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• Topping: Extra freeze dried strawberries

Instructions

• In a food processor, add the dates, oat flour, coconut, cashew butter, protein powder and vanilla extract until well combined.

  Pulse in the freeze dried strawberries. Be careful not to over process as its nice to still have little lumps of strawberries to give little pops of flavour when you are eating them.

  Remove dough from the food processor and roll into 15-16 balls, using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop Place on a parchment paper lined tray or dish. Move to the freezer to harden for 15 –20 minutes.  

Chocolate Cashew Coating

• Blend cashew nuts in a small blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

  Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in medium 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.

  Stir the blended cashew nuts into the melted chocolate/coconut oil mixture until smooth and creamy.

  Remove the truffles and after checking they are firm and set, use one or two forks to hold each truffle and one by one, dip into the melted chocolate.  Roll around until fully coated, then place back on the parchment lined tray.

  Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Move each one to the parchment-lined baking tray after coating.

  Immediately top with extra crushed, freeze dried strawberries.

  Move back to the freezer to let chocolate set for an additional 5–10 minutes.

  Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.

  Best served at room temperature.
