Protein Rice Crispy Treats

These Protein Rice Crispy Treats are one of my favorite things! These are perfect for a pre or post workout snack, but I also love having them around for when I'm wanting a sweet snack before bed.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons butter (I prefer unsalted, but you can use salted)
5 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups rice crispy cereal
4 scoops Orgain protein powder (I use the 50 Superfoods one, but all of Orgain's protein powders work)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or flavor of your choice (optional)

Instructions

Butter a 13×9 inch dish or pan.
In a large pot on medium heat, add the butter and marshmallows.
Stir periodically with a silicone spatula.
In a medium bowl, add the rice crispy cereal and the protein powder.
Lightly mix it around.
When the marshmallows are almost completely melted, remove from heat and add your flavoring if using it. I used Caramel flavor this time.
Pour the rice crispy cereal and protein mix into the pot.
Mix well and pour into your buttered dish or pan.
I add some butter to my hands and press the rice crispy treats into the dish. The butter helps it not stick to your hands.
Let cool and cut into 12 treats. I store them in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
