Do you have a busy week ahead of you? If so, planning and prepping a few simple snacks is a must. Let’s get real for a minute, I don’t always make my own organic, soaked, sprouted and dehydrated crackers. Haha! I’ll let you in on a little secret, I’m no different than you! I also struggle with ways to get enough high-quality fuel and vegetables into my diet without spending hours in the kitchen, often turning to a few trusted snack companies to provide me a base for a busy week. Today I’m sharing my idea of a paleo-friendly Roasted Cauliflower Beet Hummus served with Jilz Gluten-Free “Cracked Pepper and Sea Salt Crackerz.”
Jilz Gluten-Free “Crackerz” were started by Jill Morris out of a need to provide her gluten intolerant husband Ron a crunchy snack. These amazing little crackers start with simple ingredients, a must when looking for packaged products to share with your family. No fillers, no fluff!
Ingredients for Jilz Gluten Free include: almond flour, organic sesame seeds, organic flax seeds, organic chia seeds, organic tapioca flour, organic apple cider vinegar and a blend of seasonings.
When looking for gluten-free products, make sure you read the label.
When seeking gluten-free items for your family, the package should indicate if the product is truly gluten-free. Look for the certified gluten-free label or the words “Gluten-Free” on the package.
