Rice cakes! Here’s a brand that really has something for everyone, Lundberg Family Farms.
They do such a great job with variety. The Lightly Salted Brown Rice Cakes are simple and clean, the Tamari Seaweed Rice Cakes bring that deep, savory, umami flavor and if you want something sweet, the Cinnamon Toast Rice Cakes have that warm, slightly sweet crunch that really satisfies.
I like to keep toppings light but still flavorful.
For something savory, I’ll add one of my bean dips on top, my creamy white bean dip works really well here, especially with the tamari seaweed flavor. It just adds that extra layer without making it heavy.
For something sweet, the cinnamon rice cakes are honestly great on their own, but I’ll sometimes add a little plant-based hazelnut spread and a sprinkle of ground nuts or seeds. It just makes it feel like a treat without overdoing it.
It’s simple, but it doesn’t feel basic and that’s kind of the whole point.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
