Buffy's Bulletin
Need a protein-packed and DELICIOUS snack that won't break your macros? As always, JamaRR Royster - aka @pancakegawd – has just the thing... Buff Buddies (similar to Muddy Buddies, but with our own special spin)! With the help of Buff Whey Fudge Brownie, each mouthwatering serving has 5 grams of protein, and they're so easy to make!
Protein-Packed Buff Buddies
MACROS (per serving):
Makes 8 servings (64g)
300 calories
5g protein
42g carbs
12g fat
INGREDIENTS:
16g of Buff Whey Fudge Brownie
5 cups of Rice Chex cereal
128g of peanut-butter or cookie butter
128g of sugar free Hershey's chocolate chips
.25 cup of powdered sugar
DIRECTIONS:
Measure cereal and place in a large bowl, set aside.
Pour powdered sugar or powdered erythritol and protein powder into a 2-gallon resealable zip-lock bag.
Temper chocolate chips and peanut-butter in the microwave for 30s on high, then stir. Microwave one more time for 30 seconds, then 15 seconds, then 10 seconds.
Pour chocolate and peanut-butter mixture over cereal and toss until evenly coated.
Carefully pour coated cereal mixture into the bag with the powdered sugar and protein powder. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on parchment paper to cool completely. Make sure you let it cool for a while before putting it in a container, otherwise your mix will get soggy.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Keeping it in the fridge will keep it fresh and crunchy!
NOTES:
Chex is the traditional cereal used for Muddy Buddies, but you can always try different cereal options!
If you prefer to use powdered peanut butter for lower fat content, mix 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (like PB2) with 2 Tablespoons almond milk or water and 1 Tablespoon natural peanut butter.
Powdered erythritol makes this lower in sugar. I’ve used Swerve and it worked great.
