Healthy Rice Crispy Treats
You read that right; Even rice crispy treats can be made “healthy” with a few substitutions. Primarily, we’re going to replace the marshmallows with honey, add some oats for fiber and – of course – mix in some protein powder. Peanut butter is also in there, for flavor and to thicken things up a bit.
Ingredients
- 1 scoop rice protein powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup Rice Crispies
