Peanut Butter and Banana Rice Cakes
Simple, fast, and genuinely satisfying. Peanut butter rice cakes with banana hit the sweet spot for a pre-workout snack — quick carbs from the banana and rice cake for energy, moderate protein and fat from the peanut butter to sustain you through a session.
Ingredients
- 3 plain rice cakes
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (no added sugar or palm oil)
- 1 small banana, sliced
Method
- Spread peanut butter evenly across all three rice cakes.
- Arrange the banana slices on top.
- Eat immediately.
Pro Tip
Check the peanut butter label — the only ingredients should be peanuts and possibly salt. Brands with added sugars or palm oil are less nutritious and more calorie-dense. Natural peanut butter separates in the jar; stir before use and store in the fridge once opened.
Nutrition Notes
This snack provides a quick-to-medium release of carbohydrates — useful 30–60 minutes before training. The protein and fat from peanut butter are modest but help prevent the snack from being purely a sugar hit.
