Rice Cakes

Low in calories, rice cakes are the perfect snack to nibble on with no guilt. They'll give you a satisfying crunch and can be topped with nutty spreads, hard cheese, or simply enjoyed plain. Once you've opened a package, store them in an airtight plastic container to keep the cakes fresh.

If you can, opt for brown rice cakes or wholegrain varieties. They contain more fiber and will fill you up for longer.
