Growing kids constantly need a healthy supply of nutrients to nourish their bodies and sustain energy levels. Nuts are a common allergy in youngsters and these little beauties are not only nut free, they are gluten, grain, soy, dairy, refined sugar free as well as catering to those who are vegan and paleo. They are simply delicious, light and crispy not to mention packed full of nourishing ingredients that will keep both little and big tummies satisfied.
Flaxseeds are high in gut loving
fibre, keeping the bowel regular and sustaining blood sugar levels whilst providing essential fatty acids for optimal brain function and skin health.
Raw seeds pack a hearty protein punch essential for muscle and tissue repair specifically after an intense workout or those with higher activity levels such as our superstar Susie. Additionally raw seeds are encased with ample amounts of vitamin E and micro mineral selenium, essential for preventing cellular tissue damage in the body.
The high zinc and magnesium content of these little gems plus sesame seeds are optimal for enhancing immune function and reducing the physical and mental stress brought on from intense training.
Favourite cracker toppings include the classic avocado and fresh sliced tomato, avocado and chicken/smoked or tinned salmon, and hummus or nut butter if no allergies present.
