Puppy Chow, Monkey Munch, Peanut Butter Chex Mix!
Whatever name you call it -this is good stuff!!! It is not the healthiest treat so I tried to make it a bit healthier and added protein powder for a punch and it is now POWER PUPPY CHOW! Next time you have a chocolate craving try this instead! The coconut oil has amazing health benefits but is not lower in calories than butter and if you do not have it just use butter or even vegan earth balance or butter spread.
INGREDIENTS
POWER PUPPY CHOW
GREAT pre or post workout snack. Keep in fridge!
Melt Together (Microwave for about 1 – 1.5 minutes stirring every 30 seconds):
