Seedy Crackers

Ingredients:

4 cups golden flaxseeds
4 cups sunflower and pumpkin seeds
2 cups chia seeds
3 cups onion and red pepper
4 cups carrot & celery veggie pulp left over from juicing
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
3 teaspoons mixed herbs
(optional)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper


Directions:

Soak all seeds for 6 hours or overnight in water. Your flax and chia seeds will become very gel like
In a high power blender, put 1 onion and 2 red peppers or the equivalent of 3 cups. Process on high until the mixture is almost a liquid and pour into a large bowl
Add all soaked seeds and 4 cups of veggie pulp left over from making carrot & celery juice. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together until the cracker mix is evenly combined
Scoop out your mixture onto your dehydrator sheets and evenly spread the mixture and begin to spread it out across the tray in the shape of a square
Make sure to use your hand as a smooth rolling pin, moving your hand up and down across the mixture on the tray until its spread evenly and thinly across your dehydrator sheet. You want the crackers to be thin, so no more than 3mm
Score your crackers into the shape and size you’d like them to be using a spatula or the backside of a large knife (be careful)
Set your dehydrator to 55°C and dehydrate for about 12 – 14 hours

Healthy Buckwheat Sandwich

Healthy Buckwheat Sandwich

Ingredients:

½ cup olive oil
1½ cups sun-dried tomatoes
3 cups sprouted buckwheat
1 cup flaxseed meal
3½ cups peeled zucchini roughly chopped
2 cups apple cored and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 avocados
1 large onion
½ cup minced fresh parsley


Directions:

Pulse the olive oil, sun dried tomatoes, sprouted buckwheat, zucchini, apple, lemon juice, avocados, onion and herbs in your food processor until thoroughly mixed
Transfer to a large bowl and mix with the flax meal by hand. When mixed, process the whole batter in your food processor but in small batches to achieve a light fluffy texture
Divide the mixture in half and place on non-stick / solid sheets on dehydrator trays. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly. If mixture is too sticky you can wet the spatula to make it easier
With a knife score the spread into squares
Dehydrate for 2 hours and then remove the sheets by placing another dehydrator tray and mesh sheet on top and invert so that your original sheet of bread is upside down. That will allow you to peel the non-stick sheet off and continue to dehydrate the other side of the bread
Dehydrate for approximately 8 hours more or until bread feels light in your hand. If the pieces don’t fully come apart where you scored, use a knife to cut them
