Growing up, I always loved making puppy chow (or muddy buddies). Lately I’ve been taking my favorite childhood snack and replacing the powdered sugar with protein powder. I adapted this recipe slightly from a few of my favorites!

Protein Puppy Chow

Ingredients:
3 oz dark chocolate (I used Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips)
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups any Chex cereal
60 g protein powder (I use @thetransformapp Cookies & Cream protein powder)

1. Melt the chocolate, peanut butter, honey and butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time until everything is melted.
2. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Add in the cereal and stir until completely coated.
4. Add the protein powder to a zip-loc bag and then put the cereal mixture in the bag.
5. Seal the bag and shake until all the protein powder coats the cereal.
