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:
- 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:
- 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!
- 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.
- Sprinkle the ‘extra’ coconut on the rolling mat then equally spread the nut mixture on top.
- In the center of the nut mix, arrange the strawberry and orange strips, lining them up together without leaving any gaps.
- Roll the mat away from you, evenly and gently pressing on the strawberries to keep them in place and to make the roll firm.
- 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.
- Cut the roll in half, then each half in 3 equal pieces and serve.
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.
