If you know us (or follow us @embodywellnesscompany, or read our blogs, or hear us speak…) you know we LOVE the holy three: chia, flax and hemp. We buy them in bulk and use them daily in everything from smoothies to overnight oats, cookies, pancakes, yogurt toppers and even soups. The mighty little Chia is a real powerhouse, containing 10g of fiber in just 2 tbsp. They are also a great source of protein, omega 3s, ALA, and antioxidants- helping to fight inflammation and make your skin oh so glowey! They have no flavor, so you can really add them to anything without changing the taste!

Sprouted sunflower and pumpkin seeds also rank among our top superfoods. Pumpkin seeds are high in magnesium and manganese, copper, protein and zinc, as well as antioxidant plant compounds called phytosterols. Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E. They are also high in copper, vitamin B1, manganese, selenium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin B6, folate and niacin.

When you put these seeds together: Chia, Flax, Hemp, Pumpkin, Sunflower – you basically get a multivitamin in an crunchy, sweet, satisfying cracker! They are also grain, gluten and dairy-free.

These crackers were highly addictive, nutrient dense and fun for the whole family to make and eat.
