Ingredient Breakdown

Whole Wheat Flour

Whole wheat flour is a wonderful source of fiber and is made from grain that has not been heavily processed or refined.

Sea Salt

High-quality sea salt has trace minerals that are beneficial to our bodies. Although you don’t want it in excess, a normal amount of sodium helps regulate the electrolyte balance in our bodies.

Ground Flaxseed

Ground flaxseed is rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. It also has phytochemicals called lignans, which reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Flaxseed that is ground is easier to digest and promotes healthy digestion. Like other sources of dietary fiber, ground flaxseed should be taken with plenty of fluids.

Unsweetened Applesauce

Unsweetened applesauce is another great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Unsweetened applesauce possesses no added sugar, artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors.

Raw Honey

Raw honey is a pure unfiltered natural sweetener made by honeybees from the nectar of flowers. Raw honey has incredible nutritional value and antibacterial properties. Raw honey can help with healthy weight management, natural allergy relief, and reduced free radicals in the body.

Eggs

Eggs are an excellent source of protein, iron, essential vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. If you have access to fresh farm eggs, they are an excellent choice because they contain more vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids and less cholesterol and fat.

Banana

Bananas are a great source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, manganese, and vitamin B6.
