Yes. You read that correctly. Fun! Rice cakes are not just a "diet" food!
A few years ago I discovered that I have can no longer consume gluten in any way, shape or form. Being completely unable to eat things on plain old bread made me start thinking of all of the things I could put on rice cakes instead. You know what?!? I LOVE THEM! So I'm sharing them with you. Below are some great idea's for low carb, (mostly) low sugar ways to use rice cakes for the perfect satisfying snack with a crunch! You're welcome. xo
Peanut Butter & Fruit: Lightly salted rice cakes are perfect for this. I like to use natural peanut butter and slices of gala apples usually because they are small or bananas. Spread the peanut butter and place the fruit slices on top!
Nutella & Sliced Strawberries: This one works best with the lightly salted rice cakes but you could use the chocolate ones as well and that is amazing! Get creative with the placement of your strawberries for a pretty chocolate and strawberry treat!
Use them as crouton's on your salad: White cheddar flavor is really good! Just break them up on the top of your dressed salad and enjoy.
Tuna or Chicken Salad: I like to use either the lightly salted or white cheddar for these but the tomato basil would also be good. Just make your tuna or canned shredded chicken salad the way you like it and spread it on top. I suggest topping them with a slice of tomato or some sliced cucumber for extra freshness!
Cream Cheese: I know what you're thinking... why didn't I think of this sooner! Any flavor they sell at the store or plain with fruit or capers on top. Its smooth and creamy with a salty crunch. I prefer this on the lightly salted ones although strawberry cream cheese would be super yummy on chocolate ones. A nice cool snack for summer.
BEST Peanut Butter Combinations: My favorite way to eat the caramel rice cakes is with natural peanut butter on them! It reminds me of the flavors of a Nutter-Butter cookie. So good! The other flavor combo is more obvious... chocolate rice cakes of course. Perfect for a sweet tooth!
