Remember when eating a rice cake seemed eerily similar to gnawing on styrofoam? The good old days weren’t always so good. Recipes and ingredients have improved over the years, and today’s rice cake snacks are both super healthy and tasty. We’ve found four brands of rice cakes that you should add to your pantry.

Mouthwatering flavors

Quaker Rice Crisps
Made with corn and whole grain brown rice, these rice cakes come in cheddar, sweet barbecue and buttermilk ranch. Quaker

That cute little drawing of a Quaker is so whimsical. Did you know that the company dates back to the 1850s? Once you digest that, dig into these rice cakes, which are popped – never fried. Each serving has up to 13 grams of whole grains. If these flavors don’t sound tantalizing enough, try them with peanut butter, cheese or your favorite dip.

Body and earth-friendly

Lundberg Organic Brown Rice Cakes

Freshly milled brown rice is the difference maker with these rice cakes. The ingredients are grown sustainably at the company’s California farms, giving them a fresh taste that’s anything but styrofoam! Lundberg’s rice cakes are certified organic, non-GMO, gluten free, 100 percent whole grain, vegan and – yes – kosher too.

Happy birthday to everyone

Going nuts for these snacks
