This weeks topic for Mamavation Monday is healthy snacks so I thought I would share one of my favorite healthy snacks, a rice cake with peanut butter and sliced bananas. This is my go to snack when I need something salty and sweet and helps me stay away from something that I should not eat. My favorite rice cakes to use are the Quaker Rice Cakes Lightly Salted. They are only 35 calories and have just a pinch of salt. My go to peanut butter is Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter. It is so yummy and creamy. I use 1 T of it so that adds on another 65 calories. The sliced bananas I put on top add on another 35-40 calories. That makes this yummy snack less than 150 calories!
What is your favorite go to snack?!
My weight loss goals for this Week:
- Get in at least 10,000 steps a day.
- Drink at least 100 oz of water a day.
- Make time to workout!
- Get sleep.

Getting sleep is ALWAYS my biggest struggle!
I used to have rice cakes with PB all the time growing up but I totally forgot about it! Thanks for the reminder, I’m totally getting some rice cakes next time I’m at the store! :)
I’m trying to snack better this summer too!
That actually sounds pretty good. I never thought of putting peanut butter on a rice cake.
I’m not big on rice cakes though I do like peanut butter and bananas on the double fiber honey english muffins!
That sounds like a really yummy snack.
I haven’t had rice cakes in forever, I will have to try that! Thanks for posting!
My favorite snack is a Breve right now. It almost counts as a lunch but I seriously love them. Good luck on your goals for the week.
That sounds so good!! I will be getting stuff for that next time I go shopping!! :)
Popcorn! I air pop popcorn almost every night. :)
love those rice cakes. And yes, sleep is my biggest struggle too
I am a peanut butter addict beyond belief. My current eating plan allows for an all natural, no sugar added brand only, but it’s still heaven. Here’s to this week’s goal!!
Love your plan – I hope you can do it. Have a great week
Sounds like a tasty snack. I like the Vanilla Creme Brulee rice cakes.
Ooh, love rice cakes!
Love your plan!! Let us know how it goes!
This sounds good but I just cant spread the peanut butter on the rice cake… However, I do find myself loving garlic stuffed olives when I want something salty and craisins when I want something sweet.
awesome goals I really need to take a lesson from you
that’s a great snack! i love raw veggies, feta wraps…
I love the caramel rice cakes!!
My favorite is watermelon. So sweet and fulfilling!
I love to eat grapefruits they are one of my go to snacks quite often
I’ve done peanut butter and rice cakes, but I never thought of putting bananas on top. Trying this! :)
I love the rice cakes too. I especially love the BBQ
My favorite snack is fruit and then a handful of sunflower seeds :)
