Rice Cake Protein Snacks

I get requests for sweet and crunchy snacks all the time so I found a way to combine both of those requests and make them a little more nutritious

S’mores Protein Cake:

1 rice cake (Lundberg makes a clean rice cake)

1/3 C coconut whipped cream

1 packet vital proteins collagen *this is unflavored unlike protein powder which can be hard to cover the flavor

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 C dark chocolate chips

1 tsp melted coconut oil or avocado oil

Directions:

1. In a small bowl mix the coconut whipped cream, collagen and vanilla.
2. Put the mixture on top of the rice cake
3. In an a separate bowl mix the chocolate and oil until all the chips are coasted. Microwave in 30 seconds waves stirring inbetween until completely melted.
4. Cover the top with chocolate and freeze for 20 minutes

PBJ Protein Cake (can be made nut free as well)

1 rice cake

1-2 tbsp nut butter, sunbutter or granola butter (if you’re using granola butter you can add collagen protein to it to increase the protein)

2 tbsp smashed raspberries mixed with 1 tsp chia seeds

1/2 banana (unripe bananas has more resistant starch which is good for your gut. Ripe bananas are easier to digest)

1/4 C dark chocolate chips

1 tsp melted coconut oil or avocado oil

Directions:

1. Top the rice cake with nut butter
2. Add the sliced banana
3. Add the raspberry smash
4. Melted the chocolate and top the rice cake
5. Optional, sprinkle sea salt on top and freeze for 20 minutes
