Stack them up for a mid-morning snack, a pre-workout boost, or a 3pm pick-me-up that won't wreck your gut.

Why Rice Cakes Are a Low FODMAP Staple

Plain rice cakes are one of the most reliable Low FODMAP snack bases around — light, low in FODMAPs, and neutral enough to carry almost any flavour. The challenge is making them interesting enough to actually want to eat. That Protein Chirpy Chirpy Choca Mocha solves that problem entirely. Blended with a little nut butter, coconut oil, and a shot of espresso, it becomes a rich, spreadable mocha topping that turns a plain rice cake into something you'd genuinely choose over a biscuit.

Ingredients (serves 1 — makes 2 topped rice cakes)

  • 2 plain rice cakes (no added flavourings)
  • 1.5 tbsp That Protein Chirpy Chirpy Choca Mocha
  • 1 tbsp natural almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 tsp coconut oil, softened
  • 1 tsp espresso or very strong cooled coffee
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1–2 tsp plant milk (to loosen, if needed)

Optional Toppings

  • A light dusting of cocoa powder
  • A few dark chocolate chips (check for dairy-free if needed)
  • Sliced strawberries (up to 5 per serving)
  • A sprinkle of cinnamon

Method

  1. In a small bowl, combine the Chirpy Chirpy Choca Mocha protein, almond butter, softened coconut oil, espresso, and maple syrup.
  2. Stir vigorously with a spoon until the mixture comes together into a thick, smooth spread. If it feels too stiff, add plant milk a teaspoon at a time until you reach a spreadable consistency.
  3. Spread generously onto both rice cakes — don't be shy, the topping is the whole point here.
  4. Add your chosen toppings. A dusting of cocoa powder and a few chocolate chips takes these from simple to seriously snackable.
  5. Enjoy immediately, or prepare the mocha spread ahead and store it in the fridge in a small jar for up to 3 days. Spread straight from the fridge onto rice cakes whenever you need a quick protein snack.

Nutritional Note

Two topped rice cakes provide approximately 12–14g of protein, depending on the nut butter used. The natural caffeine from the espresso and the cacao compounds in the protein blend give you a clean, focused energy boost without the sugar crash of a conventional snack bar. At under 250 kcal per serving, this is one of the most efficient Low FODMAP protein snacks you can make.

Scale It Up

The mocha spread recipe doubles and triples easily. Make a larger batch and keep it in the fridge for the whole week — it works just as well stirred into porridge, spread on sourdough (Low FODMAP at 2 slices of spelt sourdough), or eaten straight from the spoon. No judgement.

Grab a bag of That Protein Chirpy Chirpy Choca Mocha and make your snack game something to look forward to — gut and all.
