We've gone gluten-free and have discovered the secret key to staying that way: these sunflower and flax seed cracker recipes. The perfect on-the-go snack and the ideal pair to luscious dips and spreads like this broccomole and neon beet hummus, we always make sure to have a bag on hand. Unlike typical crackers, these are loaded with nutrients. Rich in vegan protein and healthy fats, they are also an excellent source of immune-boosting and hormone-stimulating zinc and blood-sugar-balancing manganese and copper. Another bonus: They're free of the typical fillers, inflammatory wheat and toxic oils that are found in conventional crackers. In fact, these crackers are so clean and packed with the good stuff, they are an integral part of the Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) diet. We discovered these recipes in the The Heal Your Gut Cookbook, which is a resource for repairing the GI tract through the GAPS diet. GAPS refers to physiological and psychological disorders - including ADD/ADHD, autism, addictions, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder - that stem from, or are exacerbated by, leaky gut and dysbiosis. The diet is designed to restore the balance between beneficial and pathogenic intestinal bacteria in order to seal the gut and remedy its related issues. If you're looking to take clean eating to the next level, try your hand at these two cracker recipes by the authors, Hilary Boynton and Mary Brackett... I discovered flax crackers one day in the grocery store, and after spending $40 on crackers, in various flavors, that were all gone in about 2 days, I decided I could knock these suckers off. You can get creative and add a blend of Mexican spices, Italian seasonings, or even cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice for sweet crackers. [olists num=1] [olists num=2]
