Indulge in these Strawberry Shortcake Bites for a light treat made with only 5 natural ingredients!

Made with five Paleo-approved ingredients, these strawberry shortcake bites are tastier than any store-bought snack and better for your digestive health, too! In addition to their crunchy sweet flavor, they’re also easy to make and packed with plenty of healthy fats, proteins, and essential vitamins.

Cashews and hazelnuts combine with dates and lemon juice to form a sticky, sweet mixture that yields a creamy, distinct flavor. Cashews are a must-have ingredient and are key to giving these chewy bites their silky texture.

To get started, place the fresh strawberries onto a baking sheet and chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. In the meantime, place the nuts, lemon juice, and dates into a high-speed blender and pulse until you get a sticky mixture. After the strawberries are finished freezing, remove them from the freezer and combine with the sticky mixture inside the blender.

Then, carefully pulse several times until the strawberries break down and incorporate into the mixture. Tip: Make sure not to overblend and liquefy, since the berries already have a bit of water in them. Once the ingredients are mixed together, mold the mixture into 12 bite-sized balls. When finished, set in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Enjoy these energy bites for everyday snacking, or add them to your child’s lunchbox for a healthy treat. You can store the bites inside your refrigerator for up to 10 days (30 days in the freezer).
