Ryvita Alternative

Hey all,

Anyone suggest an alternative?
Have tried ryvita with diff toppings etc but find that none of them can make them edible:/
Any other cracker breads I could try? Thanks.

You should try other foods that aren't crackers or crispbreads. I hate Ryvita and rice cakes - they make me feel like my mam on a neverending "diet" in the 80's.

Apple slices and celery are great for toppings like peanut butter.
I was very sceptical about this until I tried them both and I haven't looked back (and I say this as a former celery hater). A stick of celery costs pence, so you may as well try it out.
2 apple slices, a with half a tablespoon of peanut butter, and a walnut half on each: bliss - and lots of nutrients.
Or a stick of celery, smeared with a tablespoon of peanut butter, with a sprinkling of raisins.

I've just gotten into cottage cheese big-time, and yesterday I mixed it in a bowl with some grapes, some rocket, spring onion, sliced tomato, and sprinkled with a few pumpkin seeds.

Forget about the dusty punitive crackers!

If you are willing to give them a go again I would get the sesame ryvitas, I hate some of their other varieties and the rest I just think are passable, I love the sesame ones though.

Thanks guys, tried all the varieties. None for me.:o

Love celery so will give that a go and the cottage cheese option.Not a big peanut lover but worth a shot. It definitely sounds more appealing than ryvita!

how do you get the peanut butter to stay on the celery

whenever I tried it it just slid off, so I had to absolutely drown it in peanut butter making it a less than ideal weight loss snack

I just smear it down the hollow in the middle! I only use a little bit and I've no problem - Meridian Crunchy, if that matters? Maybe it has different adhesive properties to the one you're using!

Maybe corn cakes??

Plus one for corn cakes. Obsessed I am. Can get them in Aldi but having bought another brand recently they now taste crap. But they didn't when I had nothing to compare them too! Other brands are nicer though.

are corn cakes lower GI than rice cakes or something? are they healthier in some way?

I'm not sure- though I suspect there's not much difference in terms of gi. I prefer the taste though

Have you tried oatcakes? I like them, the ones from M&S are lovely. There are plenty of own brand versions and the original ones are Nairns - a bit blander than the others but still ok I think.
