Dating someone who isn’t the healthiest of eaters makes things interesting. Very interesting. Like the time he poured himself a bowl of lucky charms after dinner and poured at least a cup of white sugar in it. I swore I was going to throw the sugar out the window or throw up. Luckily neither happened.

Or the time we went out for dinner on the lake and he was surprised I ordered fish tacos. Um…since when are fish tacos unhealthy? No sauce, no cheese, just salsa, cabbage, grilled fish and a corn tortilla.

But the real point here is that he has a serious sweet tooth, and it rears its ugly head after dinner. I tell him if he would make his dinners larger and more filling, and eat a real lunch he wouldn’t eat like a starving homeless man at night.

Mind you, I do most of the cooking but he’s so picky I can never tell if he’s gonna eat what I make or not. He always has to know exactly what’s in it before he’ll try. Now I only tell him the things he can see. Muahahaha.

The ironic thing about healthy eating is that healthy food doesn’t taste good to people who are used to eating unhealthy food. It took me a long time to recognize the chemicals, additives and sugars in those foods are highly addictive. I can’t go to Starbucks anymore and order a fancy drink because I can taste all the fake syrups in them. Gross.

Now, I’m not someone who goes crazy over everything I put in my mouth. I don’t believe in eating 100% clean nor do I avoid eating out because I can’t control my food. I’m a realist. I recognize that’s impossible to do, and I don’t want to live my life that way.

However, I do believe in eating clean 80% of the time and if there are ways I can improve what I’m putting in my body or make them better then I seek them out and do it.

These Healthy Rice Krispie treats are an example of that! A classic, unhealthy treat gone healthy. They’re made with just 3 ingredients – peanut butter, honey and brown rice cereal.

Better yet, there’s no cooking. Just mixing, putting in a pan and eating. YUM!

The key to making these treats healthy is replacing the butter with peanut butter (hello healthy fat!) and using a clean cereal. I love the one in this recipe for its clean ingredients.

I’m not affiliated with this brand. Just a product I truly love!

While the general population believes cereal is a healthy food, it’s actually one of the worst things you can eat.

Something I teach in my group program. What foods to watch out for and which ones to avoid completely.

As for the guy? I fed these Healthy Rice Krispie treats to him last week. He liked them! His only complaint was that the cereal had a different texture than Rice Krispies. Oh well, you can’t win them all. He at all of them so I don’t think it bothered him that much!

Now see if you can convince an unhealthy eater to eat them!

    I have a feeling that one day he is going to wake up and be eating a salad and have chosen it himself. 😀

    Only a comment on the texture is a good win! I’ve learned I kinda just have to ignore what my bf says about what I bake for him and just notice if he eats them or not. If 20 granola bars are gone in three days…I’d say you liked them!

    Would regular rice crispy cereal work in this recipe?

      I have not tried it. I wouldn’t recommend using it as it’s not healthy. If you do try it, please comment back so I can update the recipe card for others. Thanks!

    Just made these with my daughter—just as you suggested except we used almond butter instead of PB. We are counting down the hour til we can dig in…of course we tried the mixture in the bowl and it was yummy!!!

    THANKS!

    Megan,
    Love your brown rice bars. If I wanted to add a little more protein without adding too many calories what would you add? I would like to stay around 125 calories with 8-10 grams of protein…..if that’s possible. Thanks.

      Hey Julie! I haven’t tried adding anything to the recipe so I can’t guarantee how they’ll turn out. You could try some egg whites or scoop of collagen to boost the protein. Let me know how it turns out for you and I’ll update the recipe card for others.

    I would just slightly warm the honey and peanut butter in the microwave to make it easier to mix in.

    Does anyone know how many calories would be in it if there was no honey added ?

      You can create the recipe in MyFitnessPal or LoseIT app without the honey to calculate that!

      So glad you enjoyed them Jordan! They should stay good 14 days in the fridge.
