Healthy Creations Sea Salt Rice Crackers: Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Low-Fat



Long Grain Brown Rice is subtle in flavor, a rich source of whole grains, and remains separate when cooked, making it the perfect canvas for your culinary creations, from the everyday to the adventurous! Lundberg Ready to Heat options mean organic rice and delicious blends are perfectly prepped, warming up tender, fragrant, and ready in minutes.


I love chocolate just as much as I love lemon. Topping rice cakes with nut butter is a no brainer. At one time the only way that I would have enjoyed a rice cake would have been slathered in peanut butter. I kept that inspiration going by topping this version with chocolate hazelnut spread. Nuts are full of health fats and some protein and pairs really well with bananas for added nutrients. Top everything off with chopped walnuts and a sprinkle of sea salt. Hitting all of those taste buds with a salty sweet one two punch.

I hope that I have inspired you to take a new look at rice cakes. I challenge you to use your imagination and let my rules of building a healthy loaded rice cake guide you. Let me know what delicious creations you come up with so that I can try them myself!


In other words: You can have your cake and eat it too when you choose snacks that nourish your taste buds and your body, like whole grain, organic brown rice cakes topped with your favorite fixings, covered in chocolate, or tumbled in sweet and salty flavors like buffalo ranch, white cheddar, or apple pie.


Spread the nut butter on top of your rice cake(s), add the melty chocolate, and spread it evenly over the surface using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle on some coarse sea salt. Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.


We use this seasoning salt with coconut oil popcorn, olive oil popcorn, grilled corn on the cob, charred cauliflower, avocado toast with hemp hearts and nutritional yeast, and arugula salad. My kids like it on melted cheese sticks with rice crackers, and as the finishing touch to frittatas. Enjoy it on your own creations and have a great summer all!


Along with the easy spinach pesto, I often serve my homemade rice chips. I've been gluten-free for about 5 years and these chips/crackers are a great way to share in dips and spreads without the wheat version of breads and crackers. This recipe makes this rice flour cracker recipe AND rice chips with only a slight change in how you bake/cook them.


Chia seeds are especially valuable in dietetics. They contain a lot of calcium and dietary fiber. As a result, their addition to rice cakes enriches this universal product with healthy nutrients. In order to slightly increase the bioaccessibility of calcium from the seeds, the cakes should be served with cottage cheese made of pot cheese and yoghurt. The product is gluten-free.


If you're looking for something a little fancier to upgrade your everyday snacking habits, why not give smoked salmon a go? Here's why we love smoked salmon: it's not only a solid source of protein, but EatingWell states it keeps our metabolism healthy, too. Two big wins in our book. And even when it comes to diet-friendly foods we're looking for something that tastes good (you'll notice no unsalted rice cakes on this list). Luckily, this ingredient has that incredibly smoky, bold flavor we just can't get enough of.


However, many manufacturers use MSG to boost the savory flavor of instant noodle products. Plus, instant noodles are typically made from unhealthy ingredients and are loaded with added salt, refined carbs, and preservatives that can harm your health.


Popcorn is one of the easiest office meeting snack ideas to prepare and serve. This healthy whole grain is high in fiber, which makes you feel fuller to help control cravings for less nutritious snacks. When popped in a heart-healthy oil like olive oil and topped with garlic powder or a modest amount of sea salt, popcorn can be an office snack idea for workers to enjoy without guilt.


Oatmeal is something of a miracle food when it comes to office snack ideas. When prepared with a bit of brown sugar, a few pecans, and apple slices, oatmeal becomes a dessert-style cereal brimming with healthy goodness. With a bit of butter and a dash of salt, oatmeal takes on a savory profile that makes for a satisfying lunch option. Snackers can even spruce it up with orange juice and bananas for a zesty tropical treat.


Hummus is a blend of chickpeas, sesame-based tahini paste, garlic, and savory spices that provides a healthy alternative to sour cream-based dips. This creamy spread makes a tasty dip for veggies, crackers, and pretzels and a savory schmear for whole wheat tortilla wraps and rice cakes. With high fiber, protein, and a generous amount of potassium, hummus is a nutritional power player among your workplace snack options.


Filled with garden vegetables and spicy seasonings, salsa can be a refreshing snack when paired with veggie sticks, pita chips, or healthy crackers. You can keep a jar or two on hand for when the snacking urge strikes. Some jarred salsas can be heavy on salt and sugar, so check the labels when shopping.


As a substitute for standard wheat-based bread, rice cakes are gluten-free, lower in calories than bread, and contain no added sugar in their plain form. But because rice can cause blood sugar spikes, office snackers should enjoy rice cakes with a protein topper such as hummus or almond butter to keep their blood sugar more regulated. You can keep some jarred nut butters on hand or have a few savory, protein-rich spreads in the refrigerator to encourage a healthy balance of rice cakes and toppings.


Paired with crisp brown rice cereal, coconut oil, and a touch of sea salt, these 5-ingredient treats have an irresistibly sweet and buttery flavor that will leave everyone wanting to know your secret recipe.


Combine the coconut oil and brown rice syrup in a saucepan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for one minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Pour the cereal into a large mixing bowl and stir in the boiled syrup mixture until the cereal is well-coated.


I got excited as I love rice krispy squares but Brown Rice Syrup is not healthy it seems ? Similar to agave or HFCS it is processed and the syrup extracted from the rice. It also contains arsenic (as does all rice) so concentrating it makes the levels even higher I would think. Add this to the fact that rice is now being used in so many products that I would steer clear of using brown rice syrup:( I wonder if honey would work?


There are mainly three types of Japanese rice crackers we eat in Japan: Senbei, Okaki, and Arare. The difference between those three is the size and ingredients. Senbei is made from uruchimai (non-glutinous rice) and it is traditionally a flat round disk shape. Okaki and Arare are made from glutinous rice but the size differs. Okaki is bigger and chunky and Arare is smaller pieces. The making process of Okaki and Arare is the same. They both are essentially cut, dried, deep-fried mochi rice cakes.


Okaki and arare are made from sliced or cut mochi rice cakes. So you need mochi rice cakes. You can buy ready made mochi individually packeted from Japanese or Asian grocery stores. Japanese people often make this after new years, because they have plenty of mochi rice cakes left over from the new years feast. The mochi rice cakes are cut into small pieces and sun dried for a week. After it is completely dry, you will see small cracks on the mochi surface, you deep fry it at a low temperature. Add any flavour you like and you will have delicious freshly made Japanese rice crackers.


I personally like subtle sea salt flavour so just sprinkle salt over immediately when the crackers are cooked and you have drained the oil. There are many different flavours that you can try. You can either flavour the mochi rice cakes or season after the rice cracker is cooked. You can flavour mochi itself with Yomogi and black beans( like in the photos). Some of the after cooked seasoning options are soy sauce, granule sugar, nori seaweed, curry, and matcha etc.


I know deep frying is not really good for your health. And since Japanese rice crackers are addictive and high in carbs, some of you may wont to opt for the healthier version if possible. Good news is yes, there is. The process of drying mochi rice cakes remains the same. The next step is to bake them in an oven instead of deep frying. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius. Spread out the cut and sun dried mochi rice cakes on an oven tray lined with parchment sheet. Bake it for about 20 to 25 minutes or till brown.
