]]>Protein puppy chow, also known as muddy buddies, is a popular snack made with a combination of cereal, chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. The twist in this recipe is the addition of protein powder, which not only enhances the nutritional value but also adds a delightful flavor.
To make protein puppy chow, gather the following ingredients:
Now that you have all the ingredients ready, let's dive into the process of making protein puppy chow:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, coconut oil, and natural peanut butter together. Heat them in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. This heating and stirring process will take around 2 minutes.
For this step, you can either go all-in and coat all the rice cereal at one time with the chocolate, peanut butter spread, or you can do it in two steps. We went with the 2 step process and it worked out nicely. This is what we did. Add 3 cups of the rice cereal to a large mixing bowl, and pour half of the melted peanut butter and chocolate spread over the cereal. Gently fold the ingredients together until the cereal is well coated. Then add the rest of the rice cereal and cover with the remaining melted peanut butter and chocolate spread. Fold until the second layer is coated. It’s completely okay if there are chunks of cereal stuck together.
Transfer the coated cereal into a large plastic bag. Add the protein powder to the bag, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until all the cereal is coated. The protein powder adds a sweet touch, with a guilt-free protein boost. Plus it gives the puppy chow its signature look!
Your protein puppy chow is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it in a bowl or pack it in small bags for a convenient on-the-go snack. It's perfect for satisfying your cravings while providing a protein punch.
Protein puppy chow is not only a delicious treat but also a versatile one. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of protein powder or add in some crushed nuts or dried fruits for an extra twist. Get creative and make it your own!
So, what are you waiting for? Gather your ingredients, follow these simple steps, and indulge in a guilt-free, protein-packed snack that will leave you wanting more. Treat yourself to the delightful combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and protein with protein puppy chow. Your taste buds and muscles will thank you!

]]>Who doesn't love a good chocolate peanut butter combo? It's a match made in dessert heaven. But what if you could enjoy this delectable duo without the guilt? Enter the healthy alternative to a dessert recipe for chocolate peanut butter buckeyes. These little bites of joy will satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping you on track with your health goals. So, let's dive into this guilt-free indulgence!
Before we get into the healthy version, let's talk about the original. Chocolate peanut butter buckeyes are a classic treat originating from the Buckeye State (Ohio, for those not in the know). They are named after the buckeye tree nuts (and our beloved Ohio State Buckeyes!), which resemble the chocolate-covered peanut butter balls. The traditional recipe calls for loads of butter, powdered sugar, and chocolate chips. Delicious? Yes. Healthy? Not so much.
Now, let's put a healthy spin on this beloved dessert. Instead of butter and powdered sugar, we'll be using natural ingredients that are good for your body and taste buds. Plus, we will add some grass fed protein powder to make the treat even healthier. Here's what you'll need:
1. In a food processor (or blender), combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), old fashioned oats, whey protein powder, vanilla extract, coconut milk, and sea salt. Blend until well combined and smooth consistency.
2. Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a buckeye nut. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Pop the baking sheet into the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up the peanut butter balls.
4. While the balls are chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted. Or you can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate by placing a small pot with water on the stove, with a glass bowl on top. Heat up the water, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil into the glass bowl and stir as it melts. Once the chocolate coating is melted and ready, it is time to coat the buckeyes balls.
5. Using a toothpick or a skewer, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion uncovered to resemble the buckeye nut. Place the dipped balls back on the parchment paper.
6. Once all the balls are dipped, return the baking sheet to the freezer for another 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
7. Remove from the freezer and enjoy your guilt-free, heavenly chocolate peanut butter protein buckeyes!
These healthy buckeyes are not only a delicious alternative to the traditional recipe, but they also come with some added benefits:
So, the next time you're craving something sweet, whip up a batch of these chocolate peanut butter protein buckeye bites. They're the perfect guilt-free treat that will leave you feeling satisfied and smiling. Happy indulging!
