  • 3 scoops Vega Essentials Shake (chocolate)
  • ½ cup crisped rice cereal
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. First, line a 9x9" pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Mix the oats, Vega Essentials Shake powder, and the crisped rice cereal in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, add the peanut butter and honey into a small pot on the stove over medium low heat. Stir until the mixture is completely melted and combined. Remove from heat, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. Next, pour the peanut butter mixture over the oats and gently stir until combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into the parchment lined pan. Place an additional piece of parchment paper on top of the bar mixture and gently press to fill the pan evenly. Finally, sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top of the bars and use the parchment to gently press them into the top.
