Key Ingredients

4 rice cakes – I like lundberg farm organic regenerative farmed for a truly nutrient dense base
1 1/2 cups plain greek yogurt – strained for pipe-able thickness
3 tbsp vanilla protein powder
Pinch of sweetener – liquid vanilla stevia or ~ 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 large banana
3 tbsp dark chocolate
Dye-free sprinkles

I chose to strain the greek yogurt to remove any excess liquid. This allowed the texture to be thick enough to pipe onto the rice cake for visual appeal, and make sure it didn’t run off the rice cake. This is a totally optional step. Taste wise it will be the same if you skip the straining step

Process

Place greek yogurt in a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag and allow excess liquid to strain out for 2 hours+ (overnight is fine too)
This allows for pipe-able thickness onto the rice cake. It’s totally optional for visual appeal / assuring the yogurt doesn’t run off the cake. The mixture will taste the same either way
Mix yogurt with vanilla protein powder and sweetener
Slice banana onto coins and layer on rice cakes
Pipe or spoon your yogurt mixture overtop
Drizzle with melted dark chocolate
Top with natural sprinkles, and an optional cherry on top!

This is such a fun twist on a nostalgic favorite!

FAQ

Q: Can I use non‑dairy yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Absolutely! Use a thick coconut or almond yogurt and strain it for 30 minutes to achieve the same pipeable texture.

Q: How do I keep the chocolate from melting the yogurt?
Let the melted chocolate cool for 1–2 minutes before drizzling. The yogurt will stay firm and glossy.

Q: Can I meal‑prep these rice cakes?
Sort of – make your yogurt mixture but leave it separate until ready to enjoy. This way you don’t have to refrigerate your rice cake, will cause it to lose crunch over time.
