Rice Cake Confession

I switched up my Omega-3′s this morning and used ground flaxseed in my oats instead of chia seeds.

I loved the creamy texture that it created, and I may like this version better.

  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 1 Tbsp ground flax
  • cinnamon and nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup water

set in fridge overnight, and in the morning…

  • add a splash of water and heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup liquid egg whites and heat again for another 3 minutes or until eggs have cooked.
  • Top with Blueberries.

So…I know it’s a cliché that I, a personal trainer, love rice cakes

They are the perfect base for a pre/post workout snack, and there are so many different ways to dress them up.

You’ve already seen my version with Chocolate Protein spread…

  • 1 scoop chocolate sun warrior
  • 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 Tbsps. water (or more depending on your thickness preference)

And as for today, I used

  • 1/2 cup no salt added cottage cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar free grape jam
  • 1/4 sliced frozen banana

It’s satisfying, tastes great, and the texture combinations are out of this world.

Some other rice cake concoctions.

  • Peanut butter and jelly
  • Cottage Cheggs (hard boiled egg whites mixed with cottage cheese)
  • Peanut butter and sliced apple with cinnamon
  • Albacore Tuna mixed with avocado
  • Greek yogurt and salsa
  • Homemade chicken or tuna salad
  • Hummus and sliced tomato with sprouts
  • Tzatziki and canned wild Alaskan salmon.

  • Baba Ghanoush and sliced cucumber

The creations are endless and delicious.

I ate my rice cake after today’s workout, which was another 3.5 mile run around the lake, and ended with a new park bench workout that I put together in my head as I ran.
