Chocolate rice cakes

[Lisa1970]

Hi All,

Is chocolate rice cakes healthy?

[deekay64]

Healthy in what way do you mean? And what brand?

I can see the Quaker ones are brown rice and only 60 calories each so... Healthier than a Mars bar for a quick chocolate fix but could you stop at 1?

Others are white rice and not so low calorie - the ones sold at my work are 100 cals each and come in a convenient portion pack of 3! That's a bowl of homemade soup and a small chunk of good bread to me which would be much healthier.

If you meant something different by healthy then feel free to give more info if I havent answered the question

Healthier than a chocolate digestive, less healthier than a piece of fruit and nuts with respect to stopping a hunger pang. glycaemic index high for a rice cake.

If you are craving choc then this is a good 'swop' for your choc biscuits and less addictive- less likely to eat loads of them too.

I have cut out cheese but a do miss pizza- so I used a gluten free tortilla, tomato puree, garlic puree and some grater cheese- bingo pizza craving nipped in bud!

Instead of chocolate bars or biscuits probably. I would check the nutrition list. If its low in fat and sugar and calories then as a snack why not?
