Description

Healthy Protein Puppy Chow is a delightful and nutritious twist on the classic treat, combining rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter with a protein boost. This no-bake dessert is perfect for snacking at any time of day—whether you need a quick pick-me-up or something to satisfy your sweet tooth after a workout.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3.5 ounces chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4.5 cups Chex Mix cereal (gluten-free option available)
  • 2/3 cup chocolate or vanilla protein powder

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, add Chex Mix cereal. Pour the melted mixture over the cereal and gently toss with a rubber spatula until coated.
  3. Sprinkle the protein powder over the coated cereal and mix well to evenly distribute. For easier coating, place the mixture in a Ziplock bag and shake until well combined.
  4. Spread the puppy chow on a lined baking sheet and let it sit for about 10 minutes to set before serving.
