I first made this recipe for my Dad’s 79th birthday last month using blueberries for a topping. They were delicious, and such a big hit that my kiddos requested I make it again soon. In fact, it was my 5 year old’s suggestion to remake it with strawberries for Valentine’s Day!
Fast, easy, naturally sweetened and nutritious (with protein and healthy fats)… this is a great recipe!
I love that’s it’s versatile. Mini chocolate chips, peanut butter, berry jam or other frozen berries all sound delicious! For right now, these strawberry-filled bites will bring extra cheer to my girls this Valentine’s Day. Hope you enjoy them too!
With love,
