If you have any allergies, simply sub out the peanut butter for another nut butter, or a seed alternative like sunflower seed butter! These can be made kid-friendly too! Just ensure that if they’re under 1, to replace the honey with something else or take it out all together! Sub out crunchy for smooth peanut butter to avoid a chocking hazard! Concerned about using protein powder, find a child-safe one! (We use Else Nutrition with our son!)For an even healthier and protein-filled alternative, sub the puffed rice with puffed quinoa!FYI: Some links in this post are affiliates which means clicking them won’t cost you anything extra.
