Description
These Strawberry Cheesecake No-Bake Energy Bites are a healthy, sweet snack made with wholesome ingredients like oats, cashews, and freeze-dried strawberries. They’re soft, creamy, naturally sweetened, and perfect for meal prep or an on-the-go treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons almond milk (as needed for texture)
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats, cashews, and freeze-dried strawberries to a food processor. Blend until a fine crumb forms.
- Add the softened cream cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend again until fully combined.
- If the mixture is too dry, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into bite-sized balls.
- Place the energy bites on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the recipe vegetarian-friendly.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
- If the mixture feels too sticky, chill for 10–15 minutes before rolling.
