Breakfast bites, energy balls, protein bites, bliss balls whatever you call them they are everywhere! I already have a recipe for a super easy no fail chocolate bliss ball. But I have been working really hard at finding and creating recipes for bliss balls with less sugar (even the dried fruit kind) but that are still palatable. I am also attempting to get on the Valentines bandwagon. So

I am also attempting to get on the Valentines bandwagon. So naturally, I aimed for pink. Which for me meant strawberry breakfast bites were in order.

These strawberry energy balls are not overly sweet, however my kiddos have been happily eating them. If your kiddos need a bit of sweetness to add some yum factor, a little honey or maple syrup should do the trick. Try adding 1 tablespoon as a start, and see what your kids think. I’ve been making them the night before (they are quick) then serving them straight from the fridge for breakfast in the morning, It has been hot here so its been perfect.

I have tested these strawberry breakfast bites  in the lunch box, and they are fine. So they are not solely for breakfast by any means.  However my kid’s lunch boxes do get kept cool in a cooler bag.  On a super hot day without cooling I am not sure how they would survive. But they are nut free so should be ok for school!
