Favourite Thing Friday... Crackers

So every Friday I'm going to post one of my favourite things.  Food, make up, book, anything really.    These will be thing's that I eat, wear, read, use.  Thing's that I have purchased myself, with my own money, no sponsorship or donations from companies at all.  I just want to share with others some great finds.  I often buy food or an item on a recommendation from a friend so thought I would do the same for my blogging friends and followers.

So my favourite item this week.....

DeliGrains Brown Rice Crisps.  We love the Black Sesame one, there is a Multigrain one too.

These crackers are great as a snack, to have with dip.  They are oven baked and best of all, they are gluten-free!

They are a family favourite in my house.  My son loves them, he has then as a snack and in his school lunch box.  They are lovely and crisp and taste delicious.

We get ours from a local health food store, but I have seen them at a local supermarket too.

A Yummy Lunch

I have a few lunch options that I absolutely LOVE from 12WBT.

The other day, taking ingredients we have been having on the program, I created my own recipe.  One of the items that I have been introduced to on the 12WBT program is Mountain Bread.

Chia Mountain Bread

This is so delicious, so nice and light.  As my son eats more calories than I do, when i make these I give him two slices of mountain bread, whilst I only have one.

So this is one of my favourite lunches at the moment, it is 261 calories (so you could increase this slightly by adding more salad items or a little more turkey).


I start with a slice of chia mountain bread

I spread 1/4 of an avocado out over the whole slice of bread.

I then measure out 120 grams of oven roasted turkey breast.

Weigh the turkey to ensure you have the right amount.

I cut off all fat (sometimes there is a little around the top) and lay this out over the avocado, covering the mountain bread.

I then sprinkle a large handful of radish sprouts over the whole mountain bread (about half a cup).

Radish Sprouts (or microgreens)

I then wash some english spinach (about 1/4 to half a cup, it's only 2 to 4 calories for 1/4 to half a cup of spinach so add as much as you like)

I then carefully roll the mountain bread.

Creating a perfect long yummy turkey, spinach, radish and avocado sausage.

Voila, this is how it looks.  Yummy, filling and healthy!

I like spreading the ingredients out over the whole mountain bread, rather than just putting them in the middle and rolling as you get a mixture of bread and ingredients the whole way through.  At just 261 calories, this is a delicious and filling lunch!

My Breakfast

Sometimes I don't have time for the 12wbt breakfast or I'm not a fan of that days offering so I have my own creation for those days.

I throw together my own breakfast and it comes to 243 calories and it tastes delicious.  Here is what I have.

A cup of Heritage Flakes.   Heritage Flakes are made from ancient grains, including spelt, kamut, quinoa, oat, barley, millet and is sweetened with organic honey.
