Avocado Rice Cakes

PregnancyAmericanEasyServes 25 min

Mashed avocado spread over crunchy whole grain brown rice cakes.

This quick snack brings together the rich, healthy fats of avocado with the satisfying crunch of whole grains. Folate and monounsaturated fats from the avocado are wonderful for the baby's ongoing cellular and brain development. Meanwhile, a squeeze of lemon adds bright flavor and vitamin C, while hemp seeds provide a gentle boost of protein to keep energy steady.
