Chia Flax Crackers

February 28, 2012 By Vanessa Rae Romero

Chia Flax Crackers

Just putting the finishing touches on the Oh Mega series, if you haven't already done so, you can catch up with Part One and Part Two. Stay tuned for Part Three tomorrow.

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you a very easy cracker recipe that is rich in Omega-3s.

The crackers are made from both ground flaxseeds as well as whole flaxseeds along with chia seeds.

Add a little water and a few seasonings and you've got a crispy crunchy cracker.

Some time ago, I spotted  Doctor in the Kitchen Flackers at our local Whole Foods.

I did a quick look at the nutrition information and ingredients and knew I could easily make these for a fraction of the cost.

I dug deep in my wallet and bought a box of the Savory Flackers so I would have an idea of taste and texture.

While I liked the Flackers, after eating a whole box (not in one sitting), I knew I wanted to make a few changes.

 The texture of the Flackers was a bit chewier and a little less crunchy as they are made with whole flax seeds.

To make my Chia Flax Crackers more crunchy, I used a combination of both flaxseeds and flaxseed meal.

I also added Chia seeds, because, in addition to being an Omega-3 powerhouse, they add a little crunch as well.

A couple of other tweaks were made and after a few test batches, I had a lovely gluten-free and low-carb Chia Flax Cracker.

AND JUST LIKE THAT...our little buddy is seven!!! He loves the great outdoors; fishing, swimming, and four-wheeling are his favorite things. He wakes up happy and goes to bed happy. He is super sweet and gives the best hugs. He is humming, singing, or whistling at all times. He makes us all smile and spreads joy wherever he goes. Happy birthday Asher, you are oh so loved!!! 💜

Since the very beginning of our time with Young Living Essential Oils, I have asked God what I did to deserve the success we’ve had. He has blessed and enriched our lives with so so so many special people that I deeply care about. We are excited when new members say yes and super sad when members move along. Yesterday, we had a fun gathering in our home, for the first time in a long time. I cried. I’m crying now. This isn’t my YL “business”. These are PEOPLE that God placed in our path to love, support, serve, encourage, and educate. I’ve been doing this for 7 1/2 years and plan to do it for at least 7 1/2 more!!! 💜🤍🖤

I bought this petunia planter for myself on Mother’s Day. I have deadheaded and watered her daily. Sometimes twice a day. In return she has brought me so much JOY!!! And when that joy runs out, I have 16 more flowering planters to tend to. 💜💜💜 #addictedtoflowers
