Rice Cakes with Healthy Toppings

Four healthy toppings for rice cakes to make a quick and easy lunch 1 – Egg & Cress 2 – Turkey & Tomato 3 – Tuna & Avocado 4 – Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese with Pesto.

healthy toppings for rice cakesI am still continuing with my mission to eat a proper healthy lunch as many days as I can during the week. I have to admit that some days it’s just been too tempting to grab a packaged sandwich from the shop but I am getting better at forcing myself to have a decent meal between baby poop changes and feeds.

Earlier this week I spotted half a packet of rice cakes at the back of the cupboard. They had been languishing there after failing to convince my fussy little eater that they would make tasty snacks! I’ve never been a massive rice cake fan myself so perhaps I was a bit hypocritical expecting her to like them. But I decided to give them another go, and liven them up with some healthy toppings for lunch.

Let face it, rice cakes are a bit bland but they made a great gluten free base for a whole host of different toppings. I went with Egg & Cress, Turkey & Tomato, Tuna & Avocado and Salmon, Cream Cheese & Pesto. To be honest, I wasn’t sure these would fill me up but I felt nicely full afterwards.

    Rice cakes topped with peanut or almond butter and a chopped banana. Really tasty. I only have two and another fruit or veg option on the side.

    Some really nice ideas. I’d never have thought about pairing tuna with avocado but it works so thank you!!!!

    Great idea! I’m always looking for new lunch ideas for my DD – we get stuck in a rut of tortilla roly-polies and things on toast. She’d probably have hers with cream cheese and olives, or anything involving griddled aubergines. Yum!
