High Protein Rice Cake Puppychow
Looking for a snack that has no added sugars and is high in fiber? I just made these rice cake muddy buddies (aka Puppychow) for a fun snack! It makes two servings - 10.3g fiber per serving, 18.5g protein, and 0g added sugar.
Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup no-sugar added peanut butter
• 3 rice cakes
• 1 tbsp white monkfruit sweetener
• powdered monkfruit sweetener
• 1 tbsp fiber powder
Directions:
1. In a microwave safe bowl or mug, melt peanut butter. Add cocoa powder, granular monkfruit sugar, and fiber powder. Stir until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, crunch up rice cakes. Pour the melted mixture on top and stir until fully covered.
3. Sprinkle powdered monkfruit sweetener on top. I used a sifter to keep it from clumping. Use as much needed until they are covered (if I had to guess, I maybe used 1/4 cup total). Enjoy!

You could also use powdered peanut butter! It’s higher protein and lower in calories :)
