My juice ingredients: lots of carrot, a bundle of choy sum with buds, leftover kale stalks, one apple & 1/2 a beet… it was YUMMY.

I decided to make some raw crackers/bread yesterday. All you have to do is blend up the wet ingredients then toss them in a bowl with the dry ingredients mix and slather onto a dehydrator. Here are the ingredients, it’s super simple and you can just mix to taste. The chipotle crackers are great if you have leftover juice pulp, I have a baggie in my freezer that I pop mine into until I’m ready to make something with. The onion bread was pretty good, I got the recipe here. The corn chips were definitely my favorite. I may experiment more with these. But I think they would be a great staple for eating with pico and other dips. A good replacement for bread and chips. 

Onion Bread

  • Onion
  • Salt
  • Agave
  • Oil
  • Flax Seed (golden preferably)
  • Ground Sunflower Seeds

Raw Chipotle Crackers

  • Carrot Pulp (mine had bits of beet, orange, kale, apple etc from my juice and I think it doesn’t really matter, probably just about any veggie pulp will work)
  • Chili Powder
  • Cayenne Powder
  • Garlic Powder
  • Chipotle Seasoning (I got it from Sam’s about a thousand years ago…)
  • Water
  • Oil

Corn Chips

  • Corn
  • Water
  • Oil
  • Chilli Pepper
  • Salt
