WIN-It-Wednesday: riceworks Brown Rice Crisps
After giving riceworks Brown Rice Crisps a try one year ago, I was hooked after the first chip. Made of brown rice, gluten free, high in fiber and 33% less fat than other salty snacks, I knew I had found a snack that not only tastes good – but I could feel good about eating.
Since that time I have enjoyed Sea Salt riceworks at breakfast with chopped hard-boiled eggs, love the Salsa Fresca riceworks in replacement of boring corn chips in nacho recipes; have finely ground Sweet Chili riceworks to use as a phenomenal breading on boneless chicken breasts, and my favorite secret ricework trick, using a handful of coarsely Cinnamon riceworks as a fiber-packed “mix-in” for vanilla ice cream on these hot summer days (watch out Cold Stone Creamery!).
For me riceworks better… as a snack and for many other creative recipe ideas!
It seems that other folks, some like me on a gluten-free diet as well as others that just like good eats, have found some creative places and ways to eat and use riceworks in their day-to-day snacking and cooking. That’s why riceworks has come up with two great promotions this summer! Each of the programs encourages us to share why riceworks is indeed better… while taking a chance at winning some cash and other fantastic prizes, as well as becoming a published & publicized chef!

If you tell riceworks about your summer event or gathering you could win $4000 (YES folks… $4000) plus tons of riceworks samples to make your event even more fun than you could possibly imagine.

I have to agree, Sweet Chili all the way…mouth watering! Possibilities are endless, but I’d crush them on tomato soup! 😀

RICEWORKS ARE BIG IN OUR FAMILY. WE LOVE THEM. I LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONES WITH MELTED CHEESE ON THEM. THE REST OF THE FAMILY LIKES THE SALSA ONES. DUNKED IN MORE SALSA OF COURSE.

Sweet chili, as an afternoon pick-me-up snack.
July 14th, 2010 at 7:17 am
I like the sea salt rice works best.
July 14th, 2010 at 7:28 am
My favorite flavor is the original. It goes with all dips, is wonderful alone, great as a cracker with a piece of ham – I just love these chips.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
Abundant Blessings,

I would choose the cinnamon flavor. I miss the cinnamon chips that I use to buy before I went gluten free. A hand full would be tasty with a cup of coffee or ice cream !
July 14th, 2010 at 9:37 am
so far I have only tried the Sea Salt Riceworks and absolutely loved them! I would like to also try other flavors and try some of your cooking ideas.
July 14th, 2010 at 9:38 am
If I am the winner, I would pick the Salsa Fresca riceworks, which are fabulous just out of the bag. They are the closest gluten-free thing we’ve found to regular Doritos, except riceworks tastes fresher and more natural. Or I would pick the sea salt, which are also great by themselves or dipped into hummus or feta-artichoke dip. I am already hooked as well!
July 14th, 2010 at 9:52 am
I love the sea salt riceworks flavor the best. I find that I can crunch them up and put them on my salads or use when having tuna or on top of my salmon burgers instead of bread.
July 14th, 2010 at 10:27 am
I L-O-V-E the sweet chili chips. These things are soooo good. I am addicted to the texture of the chips as well. YUM. I hope I win!!!
July 14th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Sweet chili are awesome straight from the bag.
July 14th, 2010 at 11:29 am
Wow, do we really have to make a choice of which is the best?? They are all so good. But, guess I would have to say the cinnamon flavor really is a favorite of mine….anything with a little dessert taste to it !! Thanks for the opportunity to win these fabulous chips.
July 14th, 2010 at 11:41 am
Salsa Fresco is Awesome! Wish Costco would carry that flavor! We more often buy the sweet chili which is also really yummy simply because the Costco price is so good!
July 14th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
I’d have to say the sweet chili – it has endless creative possibilities!
July 14th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
Riceworks are wonderful!! They taste so much better than regular chips, and they are better for you also. The flavors they have are awesome, but Salsa Fresca is my families favorite, nothing like eating a bowl of them when watching television.
July 14th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Sea salt – the flavor is great……break them up and use them as a salad topping in place of croutons.
July 14th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
Okay now-all depends on the ones I am using for a snack or whatnot. I make nacho’s with these but I also use them as crackers in my veggie (homemade soups). Also, crunch up the cinnamon ones and put on yogurt or make a granola mix for my take along. Hard to pick! These are just fab and so many ways to use them depending on the mood or crave. Thanks for the chance at such a great entry!
July 15th, 2010 at 5:44 am
I love to put riceworks in my vegetable soup.
July 15th, 2010 at 6:24 am
We just love to eat the Sea Salt Chips as is. If a dip, hummus (sp???), salsa etc. is available so much the better, but we have found it is not limiting…..the “can’t eat just one” thingy is a reality too…..
July 15th, 2010 at 7:35 am
I have never tried them before but they sound yummy so I would be open to try any flavor if I win.
July 15th, 2010 at 7:40 am
Love the Salsa Fresca….. great in Taco Salad!
July 15th, 2010 at 7:59 am
Sea Salt or Salsa Fresco are my favorites – they’re both fantastic with homemade guacamole 🙂
July 15th, 2010 at 8:23 am
Yumm, love the sweet chili riceworks! I would love to try the cinnamon, too! I’m going to make my chicken with the sweet chili as suggested above. thanks!
July 15th, 2010 at 8:33 am
Salsa Fresca is the best!! taste so yummy, and my family and i enjoy this flavor a great deal, Riceworks makes some really great flavors, and to me they taste better than other snacks out there.
July 15th, 2010 at 9:21 am
I love the Salsa Fresca with cheese and pepperoni. I bring it with me on the plane so when there’s no gluten free food, I don’t starve!
July 15th, 2010 at 10:52 am
I would have to say the salsa fresca and used with guacamole. yummy.
July 15th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
I would love to get some of the tangy BBQ.
July 15th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
I love the original because they go well with dips and just by themselves.
July 16th, 2010 at 11:35 am
Tangy BBQ all the way!! This is a great side to any kids (or my own!) lunch, and also a great addition to any summertime potluck barbecue!
July 16th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
I love the original just for snacking or with lunch. We love them!
July 16th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
I love the Parmesan and Sundried tomato and the Sweet Chili equally. They’re like twins in my book, I can’t choose my favorite! 🙂
July 17th, 2010 at 3:04 am
I LOVE the Sea Salt variety and my favorite time to eat them is for a night time snack while I watch TV. I might also eat them with my lunch. Thank you for all your delicious flavors.
July 17th, 2010 at 9:40 am
I have to admit that I’m a fan of all the flavors of Rice Chips! I discovered them a couple of years ago while I was desperately searching the supermarket for a gluten free car meal. The Rice Chips and some cheese were perfect. I’ve been a fan ever since, and always have a bag in the house “just in case”. I keep a gluten free house, and my non celiac friends and family love the Rice Chips too! Great product!
July 17th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Sweet chili is the best, goes with a lot or by themselves.
July 19th, 2010 at 9:42 am
I LOVE the salsa fresca, haven’t tried any of the others because I am allergic to milk and soy too and I think some of the other flavored ones have those in them, not sure though. I would however like to see them not have the autolyzed yeast extract as that contains MSG and I get migranes from MSG, if I eat more than a few at a time or eat them 2 days in a row I get a migrane.
July 20th, 2010 at 11:39 am
I have only tried 2 types of riceworks chips as they don’t seem to carry the variety I see everyone else trying! So my favorite is the Parmesan as that is the only one flavored I have had the opportunity to try! I keep a bag with me at all times when working or on the road as it is a healthy crunchy snack that seems to fill me up til I can have a meal. I am currently looking to find the other flavors so that I may have the kids at my Kids Cafe try to incorporate them in a recipe they came up with called “rockin tacos”! Would love to win this package so that the youth in the Cafe can be exposed to other foods not purchased from a foodbank! I would also share the booty with my Celiac Support Group that I run! Thanks for allowing us to partake in so many great offers!
July 20th, 2010 at 11:57 am
Sweet Chili! Although, I really like them all. A great snack for the whole family.
