Ingredients

3 cups crispy rice cereal

1 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)

1/2 cup almond butter

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and protein powder.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Pour the warm almond butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal and protein powder. Gently fold the mixture together until evenly coated.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop out small portions of the mixture and form them into irregular clusters on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Chill the clusters in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Once set, enjoy these tasty protein-packed clusters as a quick snack or post-workout treat.

Notes

For a nut-free version, swap almond butter for sunflower seed butter.

To make vegan, use maple syrup or agave syrup instead of honey and choose a plant-based protein powder.

Experiment with different protein powder flavors like chocolate or strawberry.

Feel free to add dried fruits, seeds, or nuts for more texture and flavor.
