For 4 servings
Prepare the avocado. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
Immediately add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the avocado. This helps prevent it from browning.
Add the salt and black pepper to the bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado to your desired consistency – leave it chunky for more texture or mash until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the rice cakes. Lay out the 8 rice cakes on a serving platter or plates. Divide the mashed avocado mixture evenly and spread it over each rice cake.
Garnish and serve. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning and red pepper flakes generously over the avocado. Serve immediately for the best crunchy texture.

Avocados are an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, which are known to support heart health by helping to reduce bad cholesterol levels.
Both avocados and whole-grain brown rice cakes contribute dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, promotes a feeling of fullness, and helps regulate blood sugar levels.
The complex carbohydrates from the rice cakes offer a quick and sustained energy boost, making this an ideal pre-workout snack or a way to beat an afternoon slump.

Yes, this is a very healthy snack. Avocados provide healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and potassium. Brown rice cakes offer whole grains and complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. It's a balanced and nutritious option.
It's best to prepare this snack right before eating. The avocado will brown over time, and the rice cakes will lose their crispness and become soggy. If you must prep, you can mash the avocado with lime juice and store it in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface for a few hours.
Plain or lightly salted brown rice cakes are an excellent choice as they provide a neutral, sturdy base and the benefits of whole grains. However, you can also use multigrain or white rice cakes if you prefer.
It's not recommended to use an unripe avocado as it will be hard, lack flavor, and won't mash well. To speed up ripening, place the avocado in a paper bag with a banana or apple for a day or two.
