Protein Rice Cake Pizzas (Vegan & Keto-Friendly)

This kind of meal is built for days when you want something very quick but still intentional. You get crunch, warmth, creaminess, and variety all on one plate.

Each toast brings something different, so eating stays interesting from the first bite to the last. 

It’s simple, but it doesn’t feel basic 😉
