| Flackers w/ Tuna Salad and Shredded Cucumber |
Both of these brands are primarily pressed whole flax seeds with spices. I use them as bread and load them up with my favorite proteins: tuna or chicken salad, cream cheese and sliced cucumbers, cheese and lunch meat. Serve with a salad and it makes for a great little lunch that is loaded with fiber. 1 Serving of Flackers is 3 crackers that have 0 sugar, 8 carbohydates and 7 grams of fiber for an S/C Value of 0/1. Three doesn't sound like a lot, but you can have a few more and keep the S/C the same. But it is really about what you put in the cracker that makes you feel full, and three is usually enough for me.
I know a few other bloggers have homemade recipes for flax crackers. I really should try that too, because they are not inexpensive crackers. But so far I've been to lazy and will keep buying them. If you have a good recipe, leave a comment with a link back please!
I am not paid to review or endorse either of these products, but they are staples in my grain-free diet. I don't have them everyday, but they are great to have handy for meals where I miss the crunch or when we have friends over for wine and cheese. Click to see more Crackers Allowed on the Belly Fat Cure, I have a pretty long list.

another great find thanks Amber :-)
ReplyDeleteI will definately take a look at these when I am at Whole Foods next!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber, I use to love the flax crackers made right there at my local health food store's cafe, but I stopped eating them when I discovered BFC. Their crackers were made with flax, nuts and buckwheat. Since I had no idea of their S/C value, I had to give them up for now. So nice that I can get some at Amazon. Great find.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to make flax crackers before, I'll try and look up the recipe and get back to you. I am pretty sure it was Jeri who posted a cracker recipe.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have that recipe...was thinking it might be better nutritionally to grind the flax seeds.
DeleteLet me know Dawn! In a few weeks Ill try a recipe too, when things calm down.
DeleteI would love to have a Whole Foods near by. But I'll be looking for something similar. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI do not have a Whole Foods nearby, so I was really excited to spot these at my TJMaxx!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the great finds Amber! I found one of these at Whole Foods, but I saw it has soybean oil in it. Ugh, trying to eliminate everything 'unhealthy' isn't always so easy. I'm going to try making my own flax crackers eventually.
