Rice cakes: verdict by goal
The details
Blood sugar: A classic 'diet' trap — puffed white rice has a GI around 82, near pure glucose, with no fat or protein to slow it. Avoid; the topping (nut butter, avocado) is fine on something else.
How to choose: Skip; the crunch isn't worth the spike.
How to use it: Put your nut butter on celery or apple instead.
How to store: Airtight.
Sensible portion: avoid, rarely
