Crispy Cacao Brown Rice Squares
recipe by Laura Wells
For someone that has never been a picky eater, I ended up with two sons with a list of food demands that would rival any diva movie star.
My older son was always a struggle to get him to eat vegetables, let alone try them. And while my younger son is actually pretty good about eating vegetables it’s actually a pretty short list of foods he’ll eat.
Over the years I’ve learned to make some really delicious smoothies to incorporate more vegetables and protein into my sons’ diets. With Meal 2 Go from Sneakz, I’m able to make lots of yummy recipes like these crispy brown rice cacao squares.
The Meal 2 Go packets are great because they’re loaded with 16g of plant-based protein, including all the essential amino acids. Amino acids are vital to muscle building and maintenance, immune function, fat metabolism, sleep, and mood.

What You'll Need:
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1/4 cup Sneakz Meal 2 Go (I used the chocolate flavor but any flavor would be great)
- 1/8 cup creamy nut butter*
- 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or any liquid sweetener)
- Optional: Sliced almonds, dried fruit, shaved chocolate as a mix-in
How To Make Them:
- Spray an 8 X 8 baking dish with vegetable oil of choice or use parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and Sneakz Meal 2 Go powder.
- In a small pan over medium-high heat, add almond butter, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently to avoid burning, before removing from heat and allowing to cool slightly.
- Pour nut butter and syrup mixture into the cereal mix. Stir until everything is fully combined and all the cereal is well coated.
- Transfer to oiled baking dish. Using the spatula or your hands, spread the mixture evenly in the pan, pressing down firmly.
- Place pan into the fridge and allow to cool for an hour before cutting into squares.
