Hello Friends! I promised you I would post this Chocolate Crisp Rice Protein Treats recipe this week, so here it is!
I can’t really take the credit for this one. I originally got this recipe from my friend and mentor Bonnie Schnautz, ND of BRenewed Wellness Center. But it is so deliciously addictive and is a regular at our house so I have to pass it on to all of you!
I make these with Juice Plus Complete, my favorite whole food, plant-based protein powder. When it comes to protein powders, I’m extremely picky. Plant-based is a must. I avoid anything with whey (a highly processed by-product of the commercial dairy industry loaded with hormones and antibiotics) or any artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners or other questionable additives. Complete contains 15 different plants including nutrient dense legumes, ancient grains, broccoli sprouts, pomegranate, spirulina and even mushrooms. It is also high fiber, low glycemic, non-GMO and is NSF certified to be free of chemicals, heavy metals and any other contaminants or fillers.
Try these for a delicious treat or (don’t tell my kids) they could even be a high protein, nutrient dense breakfast bar. Just don’t eat the whole pan at once!
Chocolate Crisp Rice Protein Treats
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. all natural organic peanut butter (make sure to buy a brand with no sugar added. We use Aldi's Simply Nature brand)
- 1/2 c. raw honey
- 1 scoop 1/3 c
- Chocolate Complete
- or your favorite whole food plant-based protein powder
- 1-1/2 to 2 c. gluten free crisp rice cereal (I use
- Barbara's Organic Brown Rice Crisps
- )
Instructions
- Stir together the peanut butter, raw honey and Chocolate complete. Mix in the crisp rice cereal. I start with 1-1/2 cups and then add more as needed. It really varies depending on your brand of peanut butter and how runny or thick your honey is.
- Press into an 8x8 pan and cover tightly. I keep ours in the refrigerator. If you like them softer, room temperature is fine too. Enjoy!
