Review of 'Lundberg' Organic Cinnamon Toast Rice Cakes

Lundberg -- Organic Cinnamon Toast Rice Cakes (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: nice and crunchy; sticky texture means that it doesn't crumble and fall apart. It's a sweet treat that has a lovely light but present cinnamon flavour. Although it's a very light snack, a tablespoon of peanut butter would make this a more solid and nutritious option.

Where to buy: Bulk Barn; store locator; buy online

 

Ingredients: Organic Whole Grain Brown Rice, Organic Evaporated Cane Syrup, Organic Cinnamon Sugar Topping (Organic Evaporated Cane Syrup, Organic Spices [Cinnamon, Allspice], Sea Salt, Natural Cinnamon Oil), Organic Caramel Flavor, Organic Cinnamon Flavor.

Whole grains...lovely...and, all natural ingredients. There's not much in the way of nutrition with only 1g of fiber and 1g of protein, but it is a yummy snack. As a workout geek, I need a bit more protein, however, so I personally would not buy this on the regular.
