RAW Flax/Chia Crackers

If you know all the benefits that chia and flax seeds have to offer I think you will really enjoy this recipe. It is supper easy and can be stored for weeks.

I soaked about 1 cup of flax seeds in about 2 cups of water for at least 2 hours. The longer the better I think. Right before spreading the mixture onto the dehydrator sheets I added 1 cup of chia seeds. I also added a Tbsp of turmeric and some salt and red pepper. You can add whatever spices you like best. Salt and pepper is pretty good too. After mixing everything well I spread it out onto the dehydrator sheets. Set your temperature to about 110 degrees and leave overnight, or until very dry.
Right after you spread the mixture you can score it so that it is easier to break after it is dried.

Chia Seed Fruit Salad

I attend a local Raw Foods Class and everybody that attends brings a dish for a pot luck at the end. I brought this dish for this months class. Here is a little bit of information about chia seeds.


Chia seeds contain more omega 3′s than any other natural source. You do not have to grind them to release their goodness like flax seeds. Chia seeds are easily digestible and provide one of the highest degrees of anti-oxidant activity. Because of their unique blend of protein, essential Fats, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and antioxidants, chia is one of the best among seeds and grains for providing energy to your body.
