🍀 Lucky Charm Protein Rice Krispie Treats

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp butter

• 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows

• 2 scoops Wellious Unflavored Protein Powder

• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

• 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal

• Extra Lucky Charms marshmallows, for topping

Instructions

1. Melt the base
   In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add mini marshmallows and stir until completely smooth and glossy.

2. Add protein (key step)
   Remove from heat. Immediately whisk in the Wellious protein powder until fully combined and smooth.

3. Fold in cereal
   Gently mix in Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms until evenly coated in marshmallow mixture.

4. Press + top
   Transfer to a parchment-lined pan. Press down gently. Sprinkle extra Lucky Charms marshmallows over the top.

5. Cool + slice
   Let cool for 30 minutes. Slice into squares or bars and enjoy.

Why This High-Protein Recipe Works

Because Wellious is a clean, smooth almond protein, it blends easily into the recipe without changing the flavor or consistency. That means:

• No chalky aftertaste

• No weird texture

• No artificial flavor overload

Pro Tips for Perfect Texture

• Low heat is non-negotiable. High heat = grainy marshmallows.

• If the mixture feels thick after adding protein, that’s normal. It sets beautifully once cooled.

• Lightly butter hands or spatula before pressing into the pan.

• Don’t over-pack the bars — gentle pressure keeps them soft.

Make It Even Better

For an extra-festive St. Patrick’s Day version:

• Use all Lucky Charms.

• Add green sprinkles.

• Drizzle with melted white chocolate tinted naturally with matcha powder.

FAQs

Can protein powder be added to Rice Krispie treats?

Yes — the key is removing the marshmallow mixture from heat before stirring in the protein. This keeps the texture smooth.

Are these Lucky Charm bars healthy?

They’re still a treat — but adding plant-based protein makes them more balanced and satisfying than traditional cereal bars.

How long do protein Rice Krispie treats last?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate up to 1 week.
