Ingredients

• 1 cup oats

• 2 cups puffed rice cereal (Nature’s Path)

• 1.5 scoops Max Effort Protein (Whey or Plant)

• 2 tbsp cocoa powder

• 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter

• 2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate pudding mix (optional but amazing)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.

3. Add syrup, peanut butter, and egg whites. Stir until well combined.

4. Spread evenly across the baking sheet.

5. Bake for 15 minutes, then stir to break up clusters.

7. Cool completely — it will crisp up more as it cools.

8. Store in an airtight container.

✅ Pro tip: Try it over Greek yogurt, smoothie bowls, or straight out of the jar. No judgment.
