Get ready to take your raw vegan diet to the next level with these homemade pumpkin rosemary crackers. They are savory, 100% raw vegan, and entirely gluten-free. They are nutrient-dense and satisfy your craving for salty snack, whether you are cleansing or not. Unlike most flax crackers, these are not dense; rather, they are quite light and crunchy. The level of crunchiness will depend on how long you keep them in the dehydrator. The thickness of the paste you smear on the dehydrator sheets will also dictate how long you have to dehydrate them.

Fall is pumpkin season, so we love to incorporate raw pumpkin whenever we get the chance. In addition to providing a warming flavor, pumpkin offers a lot of beta-carotene, vitamin C, fiber, and other antioxidants. Two of the antioxidants in pumpkin, zeaxanthin and lutein, work to encourage healthier eyesight. If you do not have pumpkin, you can replace it with butternut squash, as it has a similar flavor, nutritional content, and texture.

Regarding the spices, this recipe calls for rosemary and thyme, which go great with the other ingredients. You can, however, use dill, basil, parsley, cilantro, or other Italian seasonings if you have those on hand. Make things easy for yourself, not more difficult. Lastly, this recipe does take some time to dehydrate (about 20 hours to be exact). Just make sure that you flip the flax mixture once about four to six hours into dehydrating to get an evenly crisp cracker.

Get ready to start snacking in a healthy and delicious way! These raw vegan, dehydrated flax crackers are a different breed of cracker. They are great alternatives to unhealthy, processed snacks because they pack a nutritional and flavorful punch. In fact, they are incredibly rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which aid immune, heart, and brain function.

Flax seeds are naturally rich in lignans, which may reduce the risk of breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. Even though flax seeds boast impressive health benefits, it’s best to wade into their waters when enjoying them initially. The reason for this is because flax seeds may cause bloating if you enjoy too much straight out of the gate. Enjoy small amounts first so that your body can acclimate to thew new ingredient. While you can use whole flax seeds in this recipe, you can also use ground flaxseed for better nutrient digestion. This is really a personal preference and won’t alter the flavor of the crackers.

This recipe is very tasty and involves a lengthy ingredient list. Some of the standout ingredients include nutritional yeast, tomatoes, basil leaves, garlic cloves, lemon juice, and nori sheets. When you buy nori sheets, make sure that they are not roasted or salted in any way, otherwise they aren’t raw vegan. You actually blend every ingredient, except the nori sheets, to create a paste, which you then spread on the nori sheets. The nori imparts a wonderful umami flavor to the crackers, and also provides a sturdy base.

When you set out on the open road, the traditional go-to snacks come from gas stations or convenience stores. You can easily pick them up along the way and they provide quick and easy snackability (that’s our new word). It’s the American way to shove your face with all sorts of chips, candies, and all sorts of other junk food. 

Somewhere along the way, Americans got the impression that snacking was synonymous with junk food. A snack is a miniature meal, but it can often turn into a full on pig-out session, polishing off an entire bag of chips in minutes. People don’t consider snacks to be miniature meals, though, and therein lies the problem. A snack should be a quick bite that offers nourishment, yet most people fail to make calculated decisions when it comes to snacking.

After a long road trip, it’s not uncommon to find crumbs, chips, or sticky sweets in those hard-to-reach places of the car, especially if children were in there. The reason people choose those snacking options is because they are quick and easy. Ideally, everyone would spend days prepping healthy snacks for the road trip, but hectic schedules can make this difficult. It doesn’t have to be difficult, especially when the snacks are easy to make. 

What Should Healthy Snacks Contain?

The holy trinity of snacking nutrients include complex carbohydrates, fiber, and protein. Together, these nutrients help to provide the body with energy and sustenance, which keeps you feeling full. It’s that sustenance that keeps you from going back for more. Chips, for example, offer little to no nutrients, so you can eat the entire bag and still feel hungry. Then you end up with a tummy ache somewhere along your drive. There’s no need to ruin drive time by plaguing your digestive system.  

Next time you hit the road, prepare the following snacks. You can thank us later.

The everything bagel is a beloved breakfast item, but starting your day off with bread is horrible. When you invite the fattening cream cheese to the party, you set your digestive system up for failure. Yes, this is how many people start their days, but they can get an everything bagel fix without the unhealthy carbs and dairy.

Everything bagel flax crackers use the same spices that go on an everything bagel. These crackers are the more nutritious, snack alternative. Please gather your own seasonings and don’t buy the everything bagel seasoning because that often contains preservatives. What are you waiting for? Bust out the dehydrator and get to snacking!

Anyone who has ever hosted a party knows that it is one thing and one thing only: stressful. What dishes are you going to serve? Will you have enough ice for your beverages? How many people will actually show up versus the amount of people who responded to your Facebook event? Will you bust out your real plates or stick with paper plates for an easier clean up? All of these questions need to be answered!

First Thing’s First

Stop worrying. You are hosting a party, which is meant to be a light-hearted social event that is fun for everyone, including you. You also have to realize that you are not cooking a large meal. A successful party is one that has a variety of appetizers and finger food. People want to grab food and be social, so don’t inhibit socialization by preparing a three-course meal that demands respect and attention. Let people flow naturally and use appetizers to feed your guests.

Our advice for the new raw vegan host/hostess is to keep it simple. You don’t need to make three passes of a blended mixture through a cheesecloth and obtain special oil to make delicious raw vegan appetizers. Simplicity does not mean that your food will fall flat or taste bland; rather, it just means that simple flavor combinations form harmonious relationships that delight the palate.

One Last Thing

Don’t worry about the healthy food that you put out for people to eat. You may want to let them know what they are getting into, but some of the recipes in this article will have your friends thinking that they aren’t even eating raw vegan. Think about pairing dishes that utilize similar ingredients and select appetizers that are familiar to people. You can also purchase a few raw packaged items like Go Raw’s chips, or raw dehydrated seed crackers. These are great to use if you are making dips. Let us know how you like the following recipes and if they are a hit at your party.

There is something to be said about a good snack. Sometimes the search for a really tasty and satisfying snack can seem like an impossible task, though. When this happens, we often settle for a bag of unhealthy chips or open a sugar-filled treat to eat something just for the sake of eating. Rather than eating something unhealthy, go for a nutritious snack that will keep you satiated between meals.

When it comes to snacking healthily, the options can seem slim or boring. This is only because a lot of people are unaware of how to prep healthy snacks. The way to set yourself up for snacking success is to make snacks ahead of time. Whether you are cleansing or not, it is easy to go off the rails if you don’t make snacking easy. While healthier snacks are gaining popularity, making your own snacks is a great way to maintain your healthy diet. Try the following snacks and let us know how you like them.
