Remember Rice Krispies treats? We put a healthy spin on\u00a0the chewy-yet-gooey schoolyard favorite. Protein powder gives each treat a whopping eight grams of protein, making these nutty treats much more substantial than regular Rice Krispies<\/a>. Plus, for all you peanut butter fans, the all-natural spread\u00a0replaces processed marshmallows. Our recipe is also low-sugar, vegan and gluten-free, and can be made with just five ingredients! Whip up a batch and store the rest in the fridge or freezer for a delicious grab-n-go snack or dessert.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Coconut oil
\n4 cups brown rice crisps (or classic Rice Krispies)
\n\u00bd cup all-natural peanut butter (or other nut butter), partially melted

  2. In a medium bowl, mix together melted peanut butter, brown rice syrup, protein powder<\/a> and vanilla until it forms a dough consistency.<\/li>\n
  3. Add brown rice crisps to the peanut butter mixture. Use your hands to gently fold the rice crisps into the mixture. Then, pour mixture into the pan.<\/li>\n
  4. Using a spatula, spread mixture out evenly and press into pan so the bars are compact.<\/li>\n
  5. Place into freezer for at least 30 minutes<\/li>\n
  6. Before serving or storing, use a sharp knife to cut your treats into squares.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Pro Tip<\/h3>\n
