Protein Rice Krispie TreatsOur recipe is a spin on Joy to the Food’s Homemade Protein Rice Krispies Treats. One of the best things about this recipe is how much variety you have to play with. While the traditional cereal for rice crispy treats is Rice Krispies, you can use virtually any type of cereal you want, like Cocoa Pebbles, Fruity Pebbles, Frosted Flakes, Cheerios, Lucky Charms, or Fruit Loops. You can even use this recipe to make protein powder popcorn balls for a more balanced Halloween treat. You can make the recipe vegan by subbing in dairy-free, plant-based butter and swapping the marshmallows out for almond butter. Add in some extra protein with a scoop of peanut butter. Try different flavors of protein powder based on the cereal you use or mix it up to discover new flavor combinations. You can also experiment with different toppings like a drizzle of chocolate, a smattering of sprinkles, or some strategically placed mini marshmallows, m&m’s, or Nerds. While there’s no baking involved, it’s still important to make sure that the pan you use to press the treats is well greased with cooking spray or butter as the mixture will be incredibly sticky even at room temperature. Another way to ensure your treats pop out in nice squares is to line the pan with wax paper or parchment paper - since it isn’t going into the oven, wax paper will work fine. We also recommend using a silicone spatula to combat the stickiness of the mixture so you’re not fighting against yourself when you are stirring or pressing the mixture. Ingredients:
