QUINOA/RICE CRISPY TREATS

  •  Ingredients 

    • 4 cups Crispy Brown Rice Cereal(or any rice crispy type cereal)
    • 2 cups Quinoa Pops (or make your own in a few minutes...click here for instructions)
    • 1/2 cup Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal (or finely ground flax seeds)
    • OPTIONAL:  1/2 cup of nutritional yeast (for more info on this miracle protein, click here)
    • 1 tablespoon butter (or you can use all coconut oil)
    • 1 tbsp of coconut oil 
    • 10 ounces marshmallows (Dandies Vegan Marshmallows or find a fun homemade recipe)



    1. Grease an 8 x 8 pa.
    2. In a large bowl, combine brown rice cereal, quinoa pops and flax seed meal.(and nutritional yeast if you are using it)
    3. Melt butter/oil in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and cook until melted, stirring frequently. (Note - if you use vegan marshmallows this will take a while but have patience, they do melt.)
    4. Add melted marshmallows to cereal mixture and stir well.
    5. Press mixture into prepared pan. Hide from your kids until they have the chance to set. Enjoy the praise and feel a little bit sneaky that your little ones are eating crispy treats that aren't total junk.
