Because here at Rebel Chef, we believe that the best snacks are the salty ones and that every salad needs a little crunch-factor.

Notes
The only non negotiable parts of this recipe are:
*The psyllium husk or oat fiber
*The chia seeds for binding
*The ratio of seeds to water content. Feel free to swap out, add or subtract. For example: don’t have a full cup of sunflower seeds? Use what you do have and make up the remaining volume with extra of one of the other ingredients. Don’t like hemp seeds? Use poppy, caraway or anything else in its place.
Happy Eating!
Crack. These seed crackers are crack.
These are my absolute favorite…plain, on salad, a hummus scoop, or spread with laughing cow cheese! Yum!
