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
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
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
These are adorable, but better yet – they’re ridiculously addicting. That light, colorful frosting will light up your mouth – and your waistline can celebrate too because each serving is only 90 calories. These rice cakes are gluten free, kosher, dairy and contain no artificial flavors or colors.
Going nuts for these snacks
Meet the rice cakes inspired by Thai street food. Sticky rice and coconut pair up for a special treat with cakes that are more accurately called “chips.” All the ingredients are non-GMO, gluten free, dairy free and soy free.
