Loaded Rice Crackers

The most common question I get asked from the women is this village is “what should I have for lunch?’

How many of you pack all the lunch boxes for the family but dont make anything for yourself? I’m guilty of this too!! Lunch doesn’t have to be complicate but I encourage you to have a source of protein, good fats & complex carbohydrates.

Loaded rice cakes are great, gluten free & your only limited to your imagination. Look for organic, unflavoured rice cakes.
