Ingredient Choices & Substitutions  

You can mix up your cereal to be whatever you want but use something plain rather than something really sweet or chocolatey. 

I used 2 and 2/3 cups wholegrain loops and 1/3 cup quinoa puffs. But you can use rice puffs, quinoa puffs, flakes or loops or any combination thereof. 

To make them nut free you can switch the nut butter for wow butter. 

The protein powder is optional, but if you’re including some either use something peanut butter (PB, peanut butter chocolate or PB cookie) or plain vanilla so the flavours don’t conflict too much. 

How to store and keep 

They don’t need refrigerating or any fuss, just pop them in any airtight container – Tupperware or food bag and they’ll keep for 7-10 days before they start to soften. Top tip: if they start to soften slightly before you’ve finished them, they may crumble slightly as you chop them. If this happens, serve them with your favourite dairy free milk or yoghurt and you’ve got a peanut butter protein cluster cereal.
