Trader Joe's Sticky Rice Snacks

I had been noticing these Japanese Sticky Rice Snacks at Trader Joe's for a while....not necessarily because they looked delicious but because they were so different and looked quite odd, to be frank. My husband and I were both so curious about them that I bought a bag to bring home.

My review is that they're a nice little snack. They're nothing to go CRAZY about but they hit the spot when you're looking for something very low calorie (110 calories for 10 large puffs), fat free and surprisingly kind of filling for their crisp bodies and light weight. If you like rice cakes, soy sauce and brown sugar, you should try these out.

Recipe: Soy Yogurt Parfaits

Just an idea for a healthy breakfast, snack or dessert!

* Choose a flavored soy yogurt (I used a 6 oz. container of Silk strawberry banana)

* Buy your granola of choice (I used Cascade Farms Oats & Honey Granola) and measure out a half cup

* Cut up your favorite fruit (Mine is strawberries- I made a half cup)

Get a small glass and start layering the ingredients. Take half of the yogurt and put it in the glass, toss in half of the cut up fruit and then sprinkle half of your of granola on top. Do this sequence one more time and you're done! Delicious, healthy and filling.
