Are Rice Cakes Healthy?
Rice Cakes can definitely be part of a healthy and balanced diet when eaten in moderation and depending on the toppings you add. We like to choose ones that are made with organic brown rice. They make a great snack that are not only gluten-free, they are also refined-sugar free, dairy-free, soy-free, vegan-friendly and can easily be nut-free by using sunflower seed butter and omitting the cashews.
