At an event last week,
Sam Kass (former chef for the White House/Obamas) was a speaker. He explained that there’s a missing piece
with most health advice. I’m paraphrasing but he said that we can’t simply say “ginger
is healthy” but need to include the HOW. I went back to the office with this
truth nugget and we brainstormed a bit. We’re going to add a “how to” series to the blog. I’d love to
declare it’ll be a weekly feature but we’re not so great at that kind of
structure. Today, Carolyn kicks things off with a great way to cut your carbs.
Like any normal human, I love carbs. Like any good
nutritionist, I love fiber too but not enough to ever eat another GG crispbread*. If you can’t consider cardboard, enter your new, best cracker buddy ORGRAN.
Orgran fiber crispbreads are our fave crackers on the market
because they are gluten free, low cal, and have some fiber. They are the
perfect vehicle for pretty much any topping. We usually give two a day to
clients as a “non-carb”.
The ingredients are simple: brown rice flour, wholegrain
sorghum, psyllium, rice bran and salt so they definitely need a topping. Here
are a few of my fave ways to use them:
2.
Good Culture (probiotic) cottage cheese and
apple slices
3.
Wild smoked salmon with farmers cheese or ricotta
4.
Avocado with a pesto drizzle.
Scrambled eggs, chicken salad and tuna would work too, your
Orgran options are pretty much endless.
We want to share our
Orgran obsession, tell us your favorite topping below for a chance to win a
free box by 12/17. And if you have any orgran art/photos post them tagging us

*cracker that’s made the rounds in many weight loss plans
but needs be retired.
