    Snacks are a regular occurrence in our house, so I’m always looking for new snack ideas to keep things fresh.

    You can never go wrong with a freshly sliced apple with just about any cheese variety. But variety is the spice of life, and some days call for a more substantial snack. That’s where healthy fats come in - bring on the Avocado Rice Cakes!

    Avocado, rice cakes, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. What could be easier?

    These Avocado Rice Cakes are super fast, easy, and delicious. No more boring rice cakes!

    🧾 Ingredients

    Brown rice cake - Though boring on its own, rice cakes can become a crunchy base for a delicious snack. Look for ones made with real ingredients, I really like these rice cakes. Though the seaweed ones are also great, with that added umami punch. Opt for brown rice for a bit more fiber.

    Avocado - look for ripe avocados, ones that are firm, but give a little to gentle pressure.

    Soy sauce: Liquid Aminos are our go-to soy sauce alternative, but any soy sauce (ideally low sodium), coconut aminos, or tamari also work. High quality, aged soy sauce is also a great option. It’s generally so flavorful that you really only need a little.

    🔪 How to make Avocado Rice Cakes

    1 - Prep the avocado - using a knife, slice down the middle and around the avocado. Avocados have a large pit in the middle, so you won’t be able to cut straight through.

    Cut around the pit, then twist the avocado halves in opposite directions until they come apart. Remove the pit. It’s common practice to chop into the exposed pit with a chef's knife for easy removal. You can also simply scoop out the pit with a spoon.

    2- Scoop out and slice the avocado flesh, then spread over the rice cake. Slice it with the skin on, or remove the skin to slice into strips. I usually remove the flesh from the skin first, but either method will work just fine. Depending on the size of the avocado, ¼ - ½ of an avocado is usually the perfect amount.

    3 - Drizzle with tamari/soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

    4 - Enjoy your quick and easy snack!

    💭 Tips, Tricks, and Tools

    Only using half the avocado? Save the rest with an avocado saver. Works like a charm.

    Notes

    LEFTOVERS/STORAGE: Completed avocado rice cakes are better eaten fresh than stored. The toppings will leave you with a soggy rice cake if left for too long. But you can store plain rice cakes in an airtight container so they don’t get stale. And consider using an avocado saver to keep your avocados from turning brown.
    NUTRITION NOTES: Avocado contains healthy fats like mono- and polyunsaturated fats, which have been shown to decrease the risk of heart disease, among many other health benefits. Avocados are also high in fiber and Vitamin E. Get the full lowdown on healthy vs unhealthy fats here.
