ingredients on a table
  • Rice Cakes – rice cakes come in a number of flavors and at least two sizes. The ones pictured here are full size, but they come in a small size as well. They also come in flavors! Caramel, Cinnamon or Chocolate is a nice flavor with Rice Cakes with peanut butter and banana!
  • Peanut Butter – at my house, we prefer smooth, but crunchy will work just great for making perfect Rice Cakes and Peanut Butter!
  • Banana – Choose a fresh, ripe banana. You almost can’t go wrong since the full flavored very ripe banana works as does the tangier slightly green banana.

Tips and Tricks

  • Rice cakes have a bumpy side and a flat side. I find it’s easier to smooth peanut butter onto the flat side even if some folks would say that’s eating it upside down!
  • Try some of the flavored ones with your peanut butter! Caramel, chocolate and cinnamon both work with peanut butter!
  • Rice Cakes come in at least two sizes. You’ll want to have both on hand in case you have a large or a small appetite!
  • These make the perfect travel snack! Simply put some butter in a small plastic-ware container, stash your banana in your bag and a few cakes in a zip lock bag and you’re set for an afternoon or on the go snack!

A Verse To Share

I’m sitting here writing this in the very early morning. It’s time for my daily devotions but because of my schedule today, I really need to get this out the door.

I’m 100% positive that isn’t how God wants us to operate, is it? Scheduling him in between an MD visit and the first tasks at work today. I’m pretty sure he wants us to seek him first. (I realize this is out of context, but it still has meaning in this context, so please don’t message me about it. I got it.)

Matthew 6:33

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Thanks for the Bible verse. I love almond butter on rice cakes. The best and only ones I will eat are Lunden Farms Rice Cakes. Hard to find--Whole Foods, Lowes and Food Lion carry but often out of stock. But, so much worth it.
