Rice Cakes

Rice cakes are a staple in my house.

I like to eat them just plain sometimes, but I also like to decorate them with toppings. This adds some nutritional value and I get to satisfy my Inner Foodie 😀

Either way, they are a pretty good snack option.

Here are some of my favorite toppings…

Turkey BLT. 

Add slices of turkey bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheese spread on your rice cake for protein. 

Cottage cheese and avocado. 

Top with ¼ cup of cottage cheese and sliced avocado. Cottage cheese is a good source of protein, and avocado has good fat.

Tuna salad. 

Mix ½ cup of tuna with 1 tablespoon of mayo. Add a leaf of lettuce on top for some greens.

‌Nut butter. 

A peanut butter powder mixed with water, cashew butter, and almond butter are good sources of protein.

Hummus and cucumber. 

Topping with 2 tablespoons of hummus and ½ cup of sliced cucumbers is a healthy way to add flavor to your rice cake. Hummus is a good source of protein and fiber.

Greek yogurt and berries. 

If you prefer sweets, try ¼ cup of plain Greek yogurt and a handful of raspberries, blueberries, or sliced strawberries. Greek yogurt is a good source of protein. You can also add a dollop of honey to make it even sweeter.

If you like eating rice cakes, and have some favorite toppings to recommend, please write me a note! I like to try new things! 🦛
