Vegan Healthy of Rice Crispy Treats (Easy Recipe)
When I was a little kid, we would make homemade rice Krispy treats pretty often. It was cheaper than ready-made, and from one box made enough for the whole family to have a few treats. Loved them! Now that I am older and smarter in choosing healthier ingredients.
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I miss childhood where we ate anything at all and never worried about what it will do to our bodies. Nourishing our bodies and keeping them healthy wasn’t a concern and the freedom we had in eating just about anything was vast.
While those days might have felt simpler, I’m glad I know more now and can make healthier choices and teach my kids about them, too! For example: these Homemade Healthy Rice Crispy Treats. They aren’t filled with high fructose corn syrup, “natural flavors”, or other ingredients that may be hard to pronounce or identify. My kids enjoy these treats just the same.
