Creative Healthy Strawberry Balls
These strawberry balls are not only easy to make, but they also come packed with nutrients and flavor. Perfect for kids and adults alike, you can enjoy them as a midday snack or a post-workout treat. Let’s dive into this flavorful and healthy recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1/2 cup of almond butter or peanut butter
- 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup of shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, mash the fresh strawberries with a fork until they are mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Add rolled oats, almond butter (or peanut butter), honey (or maple syrup), shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mashed strawberries.
- Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be sticky and able to hold together. If it’s too dry, add a little more nut butter or honey.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to help it firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
- After refrigeration, take small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls with your hands.
- Once all balls are formed, you can roll them in additional shredded coconut for a beautiful finish, if desired.
- Store the healthy strawberry balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy them cold or at room temperature!
