Description

These cereal bars became our go-to for lunchboxes and after-school munchies—no baking, just mixing and chilling. Made with your favorite cereal, creamy nut butter, and a natural sweetener, they’re simple to whip up and easy to love. Add protein powder for an extra boost!

3 cups cereal of choice (cheerios, rice puffs, flakes, etc.)

⅔ cup peanut butter or other nut butter

½ cup agave, honey, or brown rice syrup

Optional: ½ tsp salt
