Posted: Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Powerbar-- move aside…There's a new kid in town…and its coming straight out of your kitchen!

Teri Gentes, our natural nutrition and wellness coach offers up a twist that’s worth trying:

Here's the information she passed on! Recreate the proverbial PB and J sandwich with this fabulous, fibre rich, nourishing and satisfying:

SunButter Snacker Cracker perfect for busy, active lifestyles.

This is perfect for breakfast or as a healthy snack to tide you over between meals.

If you are looking for fuel power or need to replenish after a workout, this is a perfect blend of quality proteins, carbs, healthy fat and fibre rich in omega three essential fatty acids.  KIDS: It is safe for peanut free zones and tastes very similar to peanut butter yet has no transfats!

Teri's SunButter Snacker Cracker - tastes great and provides an abundance of quality proteins, carbs, healthy fats, fibre and anti-oxidant rich nourishment

Begin with two Pita Break Lavash Crackers of your choice - All natural, and preservative free www.pitabreak.com

Spread with approx 1 tablespoon of SunButter of your choice (peanut free, Sunflower butter is rich in Vitamin E, thiamine and iron) www.sunbutter.com 

Drizzle with 1/2 tsp of all natural local honey (an unrefined, un-pasteurized honey contains trace minerals and enzymes beneficial for your health)

Sprinkle with:

1 tsp of black currants (rich in vitamins and minerals, calcium/potassium/iron; more Vit C than most fruits, anti-inflammatory)

1 scant tsp of Ruth's hemp seeds (high protein with all 8 essential amino acids and Omega 3 - inlcuding gamma linoleic acid)

or Ruth's Raw Goodness Chia cereal (More Omega 3 than flax, more calcium than milk and a fabulous source of protein and fibre www.ruthsfoods.com )

Top with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon (helps reduce blood sugar levels, lowers triglycerides/HDL cholesterol, and is a digestive aid, with anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties)
