Instructions

Prep your ingredients (slice vegetables, portion out toppings in a small bowl if necessary).

Assemble the rice cakes with your desired flavors.

Options for these healthy rice cake snacks include:

• Peanut Butter (or another type of nut butter) and banana slices - if this will sit out for a while you can use a little lemon juice to make sure the bananas don't brown
• Mashed avocado and sesame seeds, with flaky sea salt, pepper, and optional microgreens
• Mashed avocado and sliced hardboiled eggs, with flaky sea salt and pepper
• Boursin cheese (cream cheese or another soft cheese will work as well) and sliced radishes with flaky sea salt, pepper, and optional microgreens or chopped fresh herbs
• Almond butter (or another type of nut butter or Nutella) with fresh raspberries (or other sliced berries like strawberries)
• Boursin cheese (cream cheese or another soft cheese will work as well) and sliced Persian cucumbers (or English cucumber) with flaky sea salt, pepper, and optional microgreens or chopped fresh herbs

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Storage

Leftover rice cakes with toppings will keep in the fridge for a day (if you want to take them to work or for a picnic), but the mashed avocado, sliced bananas, and sliced vegetables are better the day you make them.

The rice cakes with toppings can be left outside the refrigerator for 4 hours, but they should be refrigerated if they need to be kept longer than that.

Substitutions & Variations

Here are some optional swaps or additional ingredients you can add to the top of your rice cake!

• Cheese - swap the spreadable cheese for Greek yogurt, whipped feta cheese, ricotta cheese, or whipped cottage cheese if you'd prefer.
• Honey - you can add a drizzle of honey to the PB and banana rice cake or the almond butter and berry rice cake!
• Olive Oil - feel free to add a drizzle of olive oil to the savory rice cakes - especially the avocado ones.
• Vegetables - you can swap the cucumbers or radishes for a tomato slice or two
