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. This recipe makes about 9 squares when made in a standard 9×9 baking dish.

• 1 scoop rice protein powder
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cup Rice Crispies
• ½ cup Oats
• ¼ cup smooth peanut butter
• Cooking spray

Spray a 9×9 baking dish with the cooking spray. Over low heat, melt the butter in a large sauce pot. Stir in the honey, peanut butter and vanilla. Turn off the heat and stir in the protein powder, rice crispies and oats until thoroughly coated. Press the mixture into the baking dish and cover. Allow the dish to cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
