How Do I Garnish Whole Grain Rice Cake?
It’s been almost four years since a friend made rice cakes for me. Since then, hardly has a month gone by without me making whole grain rice cakes.
I like garnishing my rice cakes with fresh raspberries and a peanut butter combo. Sometimes, I opt for cheese and banana. And while I think these are excellent ways to garnish rice cakes, there are other ways to eat them at any time of the day.
Tuna salad
Mix a half cup of tuna with a spoon of mayonnaise. Add lettuce to the mixture for some greens. Spread the entire mixture on your whole grain rice cakes. Tuna is low-fat and is a good source of protein.
Turkey Bacon
Add slices of turkey bacon, tomato, cheese spread, and lettuce to your whole grain rice cakes for protein.
Nut butter
A spread of peanut garnished with almond butter, water, and cashew butter on your rice cake will make a great lunch. They are also excellent sources of protein.
Health Benefits of Whole Grain Rice Cake
Whole grain rice cakes are healthier options when they are made from brown rice. This is because brown rice has more dietary values like vitamins, proteins, and minerals than white refined rice. White rice loses most of its nutrients during the refining process.
It’s also healthier when paired with toppings rich in fiber and protein. If you are on a diet, it would be best to opt for them for maximum health benefits.
Now let’s look at four amazing health benefits of whole-grain rice cakes. Whole grain brown rice cake with tuna and celery, maybe?
Blood Glucose Regulation
Most of the calories in whole grain rice cakes come from carbs. To regulate your blood glucose level, pair them with protein and fiber fillings.
So which toppings are rich in fiber and protein? Mashed avocado, eggs, mozzarella, sliced bananas, smoked salmon, sliced cheese, tomatoes, peanut butter, and many others.
Mood Enhancement
Whole grain rice cakes have a proven record for improving emotional well-being. Consuming them produces the neurotransmitter known as “serotonin.”
Serotonin is a central hormone that regulates mood and enhances feelings of happiness. It also helps you to sleep and eat better.
Weight Loss
Whole grain rice cakes are ideal for individuals who are on a diet. These tidbits are low in fat and calories, making them ideal for weight loss.
