Step 1
Pour the peanut butter, protein powder, honey, and salt into a medium bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon for 60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and no powder streaks remain.
Step 2
Add the crispy rice cereal to the bowl and stir until every cereal piece is coated with the peanut butter mixture—the mixture should hold together when you squeeze a handful.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each one into a ball about the size of a golf ball, pressing gently so it holds together without crumbling.
Step 4
Flatten each ball into a thick disk about 0.75 inches tall by pressing down gently with the palm of your hand on a small plate or parchment paper.
Step 5
Refrigerate the cakes in the refrigerator for 5 minutes until they feel firm to the touch, then serve cold or at room temperature.
