Strawberry Sushi - The Tastiest Vegan Sweet Bite

Sweet sushi of mine.

Ok, Strawberry Sushi is not exactly sushi, but it is made using the same composition (different ingredients), shape (bite-sized pieces), and technique (rolling) ( like Healthy Buffalo Chicken Wrap ). And it may just be the simplest and tastiest raw/vegetarian/vegan sweet bite I have ever made.

It makes an excellent after-dinner dessert, an afternoon tea snack, and it was even perfect with my breakfast coffee (tried and tested). It can also make for a wonderful party or picnic sweet treat, perfect for creating a strawberry sushi cake for gatherings or a fun strawberry sushi roll for a quick snack.

Nutrient-Rich and Satisfying

Strawberry Sushi is not only a delightful treat but also a nutrient powerhouse packed with wholesome ingredients.

  • Wholesome Ingredients: Made with raw almonds and cashews, providing healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins.
  • Heart-Healthy: Almonds are rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, promoting cardiovascular health.
  • Creamy Texture: Cashews add a delightful creaminess along with magnesium and zinc for additional health benefits.
  • Low-Calorie Delight: Strawberries are low in calories yet high in vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, supporting digestive health.
  • Flavor Booster: Orange peel enhances the flavor while boosting vitamin C content, contributing to a strong immune system.
  • Guilt-Free Indulgence: A satisfying snack that curbs cravings, perfect for enjoying after meals or as a midday treat while prioritizing nutrition.

The Tastiest Strawberry Sushi

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 0 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 small bites
  • Author: Chris

Ingredients:

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup raw cashews
  • 1/8 cup oats
  • 1 TBSP honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 TBSP coconut oil
  • A couple of drops of vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 TBSP coconut, finely shredded + extra
  • 4 strawberries, cut into thin strips – for filling
  • 1/5 orange peel, cut into thin strips – for filling

Steps:

  1. Place cling film on the rolling mat and tuck it underneath at the edges. This is a little trick I use to help me keep all my ingredients together – am obviously a sushi-rolling beginner, no shame there!
  2. Mix the first 3 ingredients in a blender for a few seconds until finely ground. In a separate bowl, mix them by hand with the rest of the ingredients (except those for the filling) until completely incorporated.
  3. Sprinkle the ‘extra’ coconut on the rolling mat then equally spread the nut mixture on top.
  4. In the center of the nut mix, arrange the strawberry and orange strips, lining them up together without leaving any gaps.
  5. Roll the mat away from you, evenly and gently pressing on the strawberries to keep them in place and to make the roll firm.
  6. Placed the roll (with the mat and all) in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to firm up. Once taken out, remove the mat leaving the cling film in place.
  7. Cut the roll in half, then each half in 3 equal pieces and serve.

Steps:

Who says traditional dishes cannot be given a new twist? Hope you enjoy them as much as we did! And don’t forget the ‘sushi’ etiquette – share the goodies with your foodies. If you’re looking for a delightful strawberry sushi recipe, this is sure to be a hit!

Notes

  • Store any leftover strawberry sushi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer freshness, keep them wrapped in cling film.
  • Serve with a drizzle of chocolate or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for added flavor and texture.
  • If you have nut allergies, substitute the nuts with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds to maintain the texture while ensuring safety.
