Step 1
【Protein Rice Crispy Treats】Melt butter in a pan over low heat, fold in marshmallows until fully melted and smooth, stir in Rice Krispies cereal, remove from heat, and mix in protein powder before pressing into a parchment-lined dish to set.
Step 2

Ingredients List
Important Notes
Cottage cheese can separate or release water under high heat; par-baking crusts thoroughly before adding wet sauces ensures a crisper texture.
Boiling ground beef in seasoned water before saucing extracts excess surface fat and purifies the flavor for clean-tasting taco meat.
When using an appliance like the Ninja Creami, letting frozen pints temper on the counter for 30 to 45 minutes prevents icy textures and avoids damaging the blade mechanism.
Be mindful of calorie density when making 'healthy' nut-butter desserts; heavy amounts of peanut butter add significant calories even with high protein content.
