A snack born from a real fooding collaboration
This recipe comes from a collaboration between JustLoading and Alimerka, a supermarket chain with more than 168 points of sale across Asturias. Alimerka built the feature around its #HuelenQueAlimerka series, which puts the spotlight on simple, real cooking, and asked JustLoading to bring one of its own products into the mix: our protein cocoa cream.
What is Alimerka and why did JustLoading team up with them?
Alimerka is a leading supermarket chain in Asturias with more than 168 points of sale, known for its #HuelenQueAlimerka campaign around real, everyday cooking. JustLoading took part in one of their healthy recipe features using our protein cocoa cream, and this snack is the result of that collaboration.
Ingredients for the Alimerka rice cake snack
- 4 rice and quinoa cakes
- 4 tablespoons of JustLoading protein cocoa cream
- 4 tablespoons of peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons of natural yogurt
- A handful of mixed nuts
The two spreads do most of the work here: the protein cocoa cream brings a chocolate flavor, and the peanut butter rounds it out with a nuttier, more savory note.
What ingredients do I need for this snack?
You need four rice and quinoa cakes, four tablespoons of JustLoading protein cocoa cream, four tablespoons of peanut butter, four tablespoons of natural yogurt and a handful of mixed nuts. That is enough for four servings.
How to put it together
There is no cooking involved, which is what makes this snack so quick. Lay out the rice cakes, spread on the two creams, top with yogurt and nuts, and it is ready.
How do I make this snack step by step?
Lay out the rice and quinoa cakes and spread each one with a tablespoon of protein cocoa cream and a tablespoon of peanut butter. Add a spoonful of natural yogurt on top and finish with a scattering of mixed nuts. The whole snack comes together in under 15 minutes.
Can I prepare this snack in advance?
The rice cakes are best assembled just before eating so they stay crisp, but you can have the protein cocoa cream, peanut butter, yogurt and nuts portioned out ahead of time so putting each one together only takes a minute.
Ways to make it your own
The recipe is easy to adapt if you want to switch up the flavors or use what you already have at home.
Can I swap the peanut butter for another nut butter?
Yes. Almond butter, cashew butter or any other nut butter you prefer will work in the same quantity as the peanut butter in this recipe, without changing how the snack is put together.
Can I use a different topping instead of nuts?
Yes. A handful of chopped nuts is what the original recipe calls for, but you can swap it for seeds, granola or dried fruit if that is what you have on hand.
Can I use flavored yogurt instead of natural yogurt?
The recipe is built around natural yogurt to keep the flavors of the protein cocoa cream and peanut butter front and center, but a plain flavored yogurt without added toppings can be used if you prefer a sweeter result.
When to enjoy this snack
Because it takes so little time to put together, this snack fits into a busy morning, an afternoon break, or straight after a training session.
Is this a good snack after a workout?
It works well as a convenient bite between meals or after training, since it is quick to assemble and combines a protein cream with carbohydrates from the rice cakes and yogurt.
