treat tuesday

One thing that people frequently ask me is how I am able to stick to eating healthy each day and not have sudden urges to eat a fast food meal... my answer to that is simple: never restrict yourself.  Learn what poor diets do to your body and feel the performance difference that your body has when you eat clean foods.  Here is one treat that I like to make for myself, it definitely cures that sweet tooth.  One tip is to cut a few pieces for yourself and give the rest away to friends!



chocolate chip rice krispy treats

I've found that the milk makes the treats creamier and the additional marshmallows added at the end make them fluffier and sweeter.  Feel free to add vanilla bean, candies, or other cereals to make them even more unique!

1/4 cup butter

6 cups mini marshmallows (approx. 1 1/2 bags), divided

2 tablespoons skim milk

5 cups rice krispies cereal

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Melt the butter in an large pot and add 4 cups of the mini marshmallows.  Stir until melted.  Mix in the milk, remove from heat, and add the cereal.  Once cooled off, add remaining 2 cups of marshmallows and the chocolate chips.  Spread over wax paper to completely cool, cut into squares and enjoy!
