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.

These rice crispy treats are made with 6 ingredients:

coconut oil
brown rice syrup
creamy cashew butter
vanilla extract
crispy brown rice cereal
salt
