    Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Puppy Chow

    What if I told you that this puppy chow was healthy? Because that's exactly what I'm going to do.

    chocolate-peanut-butter-protein-puppy-chowPuppy Chow is one of the greatest recipes ever created. The melty chocolate mixed with peanut butter and doused in powdered sugar are like little pieces of heaven in every bite.

     I was a high school cheerleader and we had a basketball player we had to make treats for every week. Whenever we played the Green "Bulldogs" Chelsea would help me make "puppy chow" to be fun and extra spirited. Our favorite part was pouring the powdered sugar into the bags and shaking them like crazy to get each Chex coated. That treat was devoured before the game started.

    chocolate-peanut-butter-protein-puppy-chowNow that we're both pretty health conscious we wanted to take this face-stuffing addictive treat and put a healthy spin on it then turn it into a snack instead of a dessert.

    So when www.mixtnutrition.com sent us chocolate peanut butter protein power it was a sign from up above to give everyone's face-stuffing delicious dessert a healthy high protein makeover.

    chocolate-peanut-butter-protein-puppy-chowchocolate-peanut-butter-protein-puppy-chowThe butter is replaced with coconut oil and honey, the Chex are still the same (btw, gluten free!), and the powdered sugar is swapped for CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN. And then I added Bia Bar peanut butter bars. These things are like whoa. Bia bars are a local Columbus-based company that came out with this crazy good bar that's gluten free and so healthy. It's basically tastes like peanut butter fudge. #heaven

    chocolate-peanut-butter-protein-puppy-chowI chopped those up and added them into the mix. The more peanut butter the better, I always say.

    chocolate-peanut-butter-protein-puppy-chowOh, and the chocolate is still the same. But it's fine because all the other healthy things cancel it out (right?). I made this recipe with semi sweet chocolate chips because that's what I had in my pantry, but next time I will try it with dark chocolate!
