If you have ever had a typical, bland rice cake, you may have sworn off of any rice based snack for good. That, however, would be unfortunate as that would stop you from enjoy Thornhill Farms Rice Bites. These rice based crackers are delicious, super portable, and incredibly versatile—the very opposite of giant, bland rice cakes.
As a mom, I am constantly on the lookout for healthy snacks that my children can enjoy. It seems like they are bottomless pits most days and a lot of my energy goes into keeping them full without overfeeding them. This is especially true when we are on the go—sometimes it feels like they are just trying to catch me unprepared.
I am selective when it comes to what I feed my children, as most mothers are. My criteria for snack options are pretty simple, but I am strict with them. A snack must be genuinely healthy, robust in flavor, not messy, and simple to transport. Being able to pair it with other foods is a big plus as I like to ensure that my kids are experiencing a wide variety of flavors to develop their palates.
Thornhill Farms Rice Bites meet all of my criteria. These bites are undeniably healthy; they contain no trans-fats, no saturated fats, no MSG, and are certified gluten free. What do they contain? Plenty of flavor and a highly satisfying crunch. There are four varieties currently available to choose from: sea salt, sea salt and vinegar, applewood smokey BBQ, and black pepper. My children were big fans of everything but the salt and vinegar—I was happy to claim those for myself. Making certain my kids get to experience robust flavors is important to me because I do not want to raise picky eaters and these snacks help me in this endeavor.
These rice crackers are no muss, no fuss. While children can make a mess out of any food, these are not inherently messy, which I greatly appreciate. They are light and do not leave little hands covered in grease and flavor powder. They are also easy to transport as they come in a resalable bag—no need to worry about spills.
When it comes to pairing with other food, Thornhill Farms Rice Bites are excellent. My kids enjoyed them with both hummus and French onion dip. I personally paired them with my favorite spinach and artichoke dip recipe and some guacamole. Even though they are flavorful, they are not overpowering, which lets them compliment other foods quite well.
Perfect for a trip to the park, a child’s birthday party, or even cocktails with friends, these rice chips are a new staple in my household. Be certain to try them out yourself. You can order directly from the Thornhill Farms website or you can check a grocery store near you. No matter how you get them, get them soon for healthy, more satisfying snacking.
I have never bee a fan of rice cakes. Always tasted like eating paper and I was never a fan of that either!
