Vegan Energy Bites
This week we took a plunge and bought a handful of Guinea fowls for our home in the country. They are really fun and great for eating ticks, spiders, mice, and other bugs that are roaming around.
We have to keep them locked up for a few weeks so that they get used to our home, and then we slowly will let them out. I am hoping they are a great asset to our home! We live on 20 acres, so we have a lot of areas for them to roam and enjoy the country life.

Where To Buy Freeze Dried Strawberries
I use freeze dried strawberries when I make these bites. I find that it gives the perfect texture and flavor to them. When I have used fresh strawberries in the past these bites end up in a gunky-mess. I bought my strawberries on Amazon. But you might be able to find at a specialty store near you.
Because the strawberries have so much moisture reaching for freeze-dried just makes more sense. The beauty of freeze-dried fruit contains less water which is great for cooking with and you can eat more pieces, which means more nutrients. The only downfall is during the freezing process it can lose some of the nutrients like vitamin C, but for the most part, the nutrients are preserved.
No-Bake Strawberry Bites
These strawberry shortcake bites only require a few ingredients, and I love with a few pulses of the food processor you have the perfect mix ready to roll up into balls.
How to Make Strawberry Energy Bites
You simply mix in your nuts, strawberries, and gluten-free rolled oats. Pulse in your food processor or if you don’t have one you can use a blender as well. Once it forms a ground coarse powder, toss in your agave and vanilla. Then allow the liquid to soak up a bit, and then roll your balls. My tip is after a few balls wash your hands, or you will struggle with getting the balls to form! They tend to stick to your hands if you do many more balls at once.
How Long Can You Store Strawberry Shortcake Balls
You can store these bite-size strawberry shortcake balls in the fridge or room temperature. They last around 4 days, but I recommend eating them in the first 2-3 for prime flavor.
