A good ole classic rice crispy treat. What could be better? Don’t worry, I’ll tell you. Vegan rice crispy treats! Oh, and protein rice crispy treats! OH AND chocolate peanut butter protein rice crispy treats! I’ve recently been craving rice crispy treats sooooo much and I’ve yet to find any vegan ones…and I definitely haven’t found any that are “healthy”. Now am I claiming that these are the healthiest treat out there? No way. BUT I like to at least bulk up my treats with a few other nutrients – hence the dark chocolate, peanut butter, and protein additions. Now here’s the real question…which version are you making first?
