  HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER RICE CRISPY BALLS
 

These little balls of whole grain goodness are quick to whip up and have a short ingredient list. Only FOUR whole foods ingredients are needed!
Crispy Rice Cereal – I prefer using a brown rice variety. Peanut Butter – Again, natural. Only peanuts listed on the label. Brown Rice Syrup – this stuff is the BEST binder. Vanilla – and if you don’t have any, that’s cool too. They will still be delish!
 



Mix together peanut butter, brown rice syrup and vanilla in a small saucepan.

Remember to do this over a low heat an be careful not to burn.



Heat until the ingredients are blended together and become liquid-y.

Don’t you just love chunky peanut butter? Hands up for those nuts!!



In the meantime measure out your rice crispies into a mixing bowl.

I prefer using the more natural brown rice crispies that you can easily find at the grocery store on online.



Pour the contents of the saucepan over the puffed rice and mix well.

Sometimes I use a spatula sometimes I use my hands. 😉



Form the mixture into balls and and store in the fridge.

A good technique for rolling the balls is to dampen your hands a little when the mixture starts to stick to them!



They stay nice and chewy!

Trust me as I have bitten into many. 🙂



These balls are the bomb!

Like I said earlier they are the perfect ‘little something’ to have before a workout as they aren’t heavy and are a good form of slow releasing energy that will keep you moving.



I’d also recommend them for a afternoon pick me up when you find yourself looking for something sweet. My picky fella loves these balls and that is a strong seal of approval. 😉

I would think they’d be great for kids lunches as well.
