Vegan Rice Cake Toppings: 20 Best Ideas!
These vegan rice cake toppings are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or snack time.
If you’re a little bored of your usual options and you’re ready to get creative and shake things up, you’ll be pleased to know that you’ve come to the right place!
Just before we get stuck into the full list, it’s important to mention that you may need to do a little due diligence if you’re following a strictly vegan diet.
Many of the ideas here are 100% free of any animal products or derivatives. Some though rely on picking up items from the supermarket that are usually completely vegan friendly, but not always.
Let’s take jams, for example. Most ingredients in jam are plant based, so they’re very often completely suitable for vegans. You will sometimes though stumble upon brands that use things like gelatine, which is an animal product.
If you’re planning to try something completely new to you, make sure you check the label so you can be assured that it’s totally suitable for you to tuck into and enjoy.
Now without any further ado, let’s get stuck into the list…

I’ve done this with spicy bean chilli, lentil stew, veggie casserole, tofu curries, and a huge variety of other dishes. Just reheat, pile on to your rice cake, and you’re good to go! If you like, you can add some fresh herbs, grated vegan cheese, or dried red chilli flakes as a garnish.
