Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips allergy-friendly
  • 12.8 oz Chocolate Chex Cereal About 8 - 8 1/2 cups
  • 1 scoop chocolate vegan protein powder We used Orgain Organic Protein Chocolate
  • 1 Tbsp PB2 powdered peanut butter.

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan heat coconut oil, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Heat until melted and completely mixed.
  • Add the box of Chex cereal and mix until all squares are coated.
  • Dump coated squares into a large gallon-sized bag.
  • Combine chocolate protein powder and PB2.  Add to the bag with the cereal.
  • Shake it around until cereal squares are completely dusted. If it's easier you can toss the cereal around in a large mixing bowl while coating with the protein powder mixture.

Notes

1 scoop of protein powder is about 3 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon.
I use Orgain Organic Protein Chocolate. Orgain is my favorite protein powder and it is sugar-free.
