Plain Rice Cakes with Smooth Peanut Butter

This is the ultimate "I can't deal with food right now" meal. A rice cake is uniform, crunchy, and predictable. Smooth peanut butter adds protein and healthy fats without any bits or texture. It's dry, crunchy, creamy, and completely safe.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 2–3 brown rice cakes
• 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter (the kind with no bits)

Method:

1. Spread the peanut butter evenly over the rice cakes, right to the edges.
2. Eat immediately, before the peanut butter softens the rice cake too much.

Sensory profile: Uniformly crunchy base, smooth creamy topping. No bits, no lumps. Dry and predictable.

Why it's gut-friendly: Brown rice cakes are whole-grain. Peanut butter provides protein and healthy fats. A very simple, safe snack or light meal.
