Lay the brown rice cakes on a clean, flat surface, like a cutting board or plate.
Using a spoon, spread 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter evenly over each rice cake, ensuring the peanut butter covers the top of the rice cake entirely for maximum flavor in each bite.
Slice half of a banana into thin rounds, enough to cover the tops of the peanut butter spread rice cakes.
Arrange the banana slices evenly on both rice cakes.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chia seeds over the banana slices. This will add a nutritional boost with omega-3 and fiber.
Scatter fresh blueberries over the top, distributing them evenly across both rice cakes for a sweet and juicy burst of flavor.
Finish by dusting 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon over the assembled rice cakes to enhance the flavor profile and add an aromatic spice.
Serve immediately as a satisfying, heart-healthy snack or light breakfast.
