Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 1.5 cups Freeze-dried strawberries
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or preferred sugar-free powdered sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened vanilla almond milk powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until fully liquid and warm.
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted coconut oil until fully combined.
Slowly drizzle the coconut oil and vanilla mixture over the Rice Chex, gently tossing to ensure the cereal is evenly coated.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the powdered erythritol, unsweetened vanilla almond milk powder, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Sprinkle the powdered mixture over the coated Rice Chex cereal while continuing to gently toss to ensure an even coating. Use a spatula or hands to gently fold, avoiding breaking the cereal.
Add the freeze-dried strawberries to the mix and toss gently to distribute evenly. If needed, lightly crush a few pieces of the freeze-dried strawberries for smaller bursts of flavor.
Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow it to set for 5 minutes to ensure everything adheres properly.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
