10-minute Protein Brown Rice Crispies Treats

Ingredients

Ingredients for 15 “golf ball”-sized treats:

3 cups brown rice crisp cereal
1 heaping scoop vanilla isolate protein powder (I used Cellucor cor-Performance whey)
2/3 cup almond butter (or peanut butter or choice of natural nut butter)
1/2 cup raw honey
1 tablespoon cinnamon (optional, recommended)

Steps

Step 1

In a ceramic or glass bowl, mix together honey and almond butter. Ensure that both have melted completely so they can easily mix well together. To help, you can toss this in the microwave for a few seconds.

Step 2

Add cinnamon and protein powder and mix together using a spatula.

Step 3

Then add 1 cup of brown rice cereal at a time and fold in the cereal.

Step 4

Spread mixture in a shallow baking dish (about 8×8) or use silicone ice molds for individual portion control.

Step 5

Store the treats in the fridge and slice (or pop out of the ice molds) when you’re ready to eat them. It’s best to let these “harden” in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before enjoying.
