NWW’s Protein Puppy Chow

Here is one of the special holiday treats that I created during my “vacation” week as a dietetic intern in 2017. Just simple 5 ingredients, 3-5 minutes and you’re enjoying a healthier yet still sweet treat to ring in the new year! This protein puppy chow makes for a great quarantine indulgence or at the next party, you attend!

• I highly recommend using a lower sugar and higher fiber cereal option (Kashi, Kind, or even Catalina Crunch)
• During the time I developed this recipe in 2017 I used Smucker’s creamy peanut butter. However, I highly recommend using Nut’s n’ More, Rx Nut butter, or high-quality peanut butter that does not contain additional fillers. *A good peanut butter will contain peanuts and a pinch of salt for those asking.
• Use code 143NWW for 15% off, Nut’s N More peanut butter.
• The coconut oil is a great way to thin the mixture out but add additional sweetness.
• I personally love white chocolate and encourage you to try it. Most recipes call for milk or dark chocolate chips but as I said, grab the white chocolate chips and you won’t be disappointed!
• I used Momentous vanilla whey protein powder but you can swap it with any good quality whey protein. Any other third-party tested whey protein is satisfactory! This will replace the powdered sugar used in the traditional puppy chow. You can use vanilla, chocolate, or any yummy flavor. Use Code WENDI for 15% off Momentous third-party tested protein powder and other supplements. We would never recommend anything we did not personally use ourselves as sports dietitians. Our clients and athletes can trust Momentous. Momentous products are third-party tested and NSF and Informed Choice approved! You won’t find another supplement company that matches their product quality or purity!
