Healthy Snack: 5 Delicious Ways to Eat Rice Cakes

If you take a look at my pantry, you will always find at least one bag of rice cakes. They are my daughter and my favorite snack, and we go through a pack each week.

I started buying them last year as a quick and healthy bite that I can give Belle when I pick her up from school. She is usually famished, which means going to the grocery store to get something is not a good idea. All the distractions in the grocery store will bring the worst in everyone when they are hungry, don’t you agree? :)

Belle’s weakness is sugar waffles. They are so good but not something you want to have every single day. It’s all about balance, right?  So I try to avoid the trip to the grocery store right after school. Instead, I prefer to bring a snack with me.

The first rice cakes I bought were lightly salted with paprika flavor. They were delicious. Nowadays I buy plain ones with brown rice instead of white. Also, I will go with salt-free instead of lightly salted.

I go for the salt-free version because I like to add my own toppings, which are sometimes sweet other times salty. And I know many people find rice cakes boring but trust me, it’s all about the toppings.

Rice cakes have no nutritional value, they have very few calories – between 35 and 60 calories per cake (depending on the brand), which makes them a perfect post workout snack.

If you don’t have time to add your own toppings, get a chocolate-covered rice cake but opt-in for the dark chocolate, instead of milk chocolate. 

So here are 5 toppings and ways to eat rice cakes. My favorite one lately has been #4, but it depends on the day and what I’m craving :)
