How to Make Dairy-Free Peach Protein Rice Cakes
- Prep your tray. Line a tray or plate with parchment paper and place the rice cakes on top.
- Make the protein topping. In a small bowl, stir together the dairy-free cool whip and vanilla protein powder until smooth.
- Add the peach. Gently fold in the diced peach and spread the mixture evenly over each rice cake.

- Serve. Enjoy straight from the freezer for a refreshing chocolatey snack.
