2. Tinned salmon and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice 
3. Tinned tuna with natural yoghurt and sweetcorn
4. Ham, cream cheese, and tomato 
5. Coronation chicken

21. Leftovers! 

Let me take a minute to elaborate on that final idea right there. Many of us tend to eat a high protein meal for dinner. A great idea for saving time and cutting down on food waste is to save a small portion, and use it up the following day. You can eat it on its own, in a sandwich, on a jacket potato, or of course – you guessed it – on a rice cake! 

Want to shake things up a little? Just add a few extra garnishes and toppings. For example, I’ll pile chilli con carne on top of a couple of rice cakes, then add extra dried chilli flakes, fresh coriander, grated cheese, and a squeeze of lime juice. 

Leftovers don’t have to be boring! They can make the most delicious high protein rice cake toppings. 

Final thoughts on high protein toppings for rice cakes 

Adding a high protein topping to your rice cake is a quick, easy, and convenient way to hit your dietary goals. And with a little bit of creativity and imagination, it really doesn’t have to be a boring option either! 

Why not get started by checking what you already have in your fridge and cupboards, and seeing what you can create? Combine a little protein like chicken or tuna, add a sauce like mayonnaise or natural yoghurt for creaminess, and throw in some veggies like cucumber, tomato, or sweetcorn.
