What can I add to turn this from a snack to a meal?
Basically as it says – corn cakes and cashew nut butter is not satiating as a meal, but I don't know what to add to make it more satiating while still keeping it relatively low calorie?

I add a side of crunchy salad or veggies.

Fruit? Strawberries are my favorite right now.

a lot of fruit is surprisingly low calorie, strawberries, apples, and blueberries are some of my favorites. bananas are delicious with peanut butter but they’re slightly more calorie dense.

Add fruit (berries are low cal) for micronutrients and fiber and low fat, zero sugar Greek yogurt for protein. You have the carbs and fats covered.

Protein
inononeofthisisreal
1/2 a banana. Complete protein!
Or carrots and celery with some hummus.
Or all do the above.
bnny_ears
Chicken, sliced jalapeños, drizzle with lime juice
Edit: since cashew goes onto so many curries, maybe curry powder and chicken/chickpeas too

I agree with strawberries, or you could sprinkle some pepitas on there. You might also add a scoop of cottage cheese or some laughing cow, or maybe a boiled egg to balance the crunch?

I’d do a side of fruit mixed with Greek yogurt

Yogurt and fruit. Go easy on the butter, since those calories stack up quick.

Shredded chicken and spring onions to make it like a satay and up your protein. Maybe some sriracha.

banana and sliced up almonds! 🙂

Add some sugar free jam and chopped bananas

My absolute favorite breakfast is rice cakes with peanut butter and raisins on top.

swap the peanut butter (or half the peanut butter) for PB2+milk; add greek yogurt and fruit… that would take down the fat content and bring up the protein and fiber to keep you fuller longer

Chia seeds, granny Smith apple slices and a small amount of chocolate chips.

I like to take a protein powder and add just a tiny bit of water to mix it so it reaches a pudding/peanut butter consistency and use that instead of higher calorie, lower protein nut butter. Then use that as your spread. Maybe slice a banana and add that on top as well.

Cucumbers barely have any calories and are really satiating!

Some egg bites or baked oatmeal cups

Labneh made from Greek yogurt is great (add salt and lemon juice and strain regular greek yogurt)
Then you can top with cucumbers, roasted chickpeas, etc.
