    Four ways to make deliciously healthy desserts using rice cakes. A simple, yet tasty gluten free, guilt free treat each under 200 calories!

    4 super quick and easy ways to make a healthy dessert using rice cakes! Each under 200 calories. www.itscheatdayeveryday.com Suuuuuper exciting news! This girl has been working on some behind the scenes projects for It's Cheat Day Everyday and I'm FINALLY ready to share one of them with you guys *cues drumroll*

    Introducing....

    FOUR WAYS FRIDAYS 

    Every Friday, I will be sharing 4 super cool recipe variations that each have something in common. This could be anything from a common ingredient, to a common technique, cuisine etc.

    All in all, there will be 4 ways to get your delicious low cal fix...all.in.one.place.

    To kick this off, we're starting with rice cakes. I thought that this would be a great starting point because I for one, have only recently become a fan of these little low calorie cakes.

    If I'm gonna totes honest with you, in the past, I just couldn't hop on board with these things. I'd drizzle them with honey and just felt like I was eating honey flavored cardboard.

    BUT, that all changed when I realized that these little rice cakes are actually the PERFECT foundation for pretty much ANY topping combination. Because they are so low in calories and don't pack much flavor, they make a superb base for just about anything.

    I've been having so much fun experimenting with different ways to curb my late night sweet tooth without the high cal regrets. The possibilities are truly endless but these four have been my fave:

    Directions

        A dollop of lite whipped topping just makes sweet treats *that* much better. It's hard to believe it's only 10 calories for a tbs!

      OMG! I wish I'd found this recipe long time ago! Lol! Rice cakes on their own are not very tasty, although they're a healthier alternative to traditional desserts. But with this recipes...wow! I now know what today's snack will be :) Thanks for sharing and taking the boredom out of eating rice cakes :)
