low carb snack plate (vegan, no sugar)
Earlier in the summer, I posted this recipe for low carb crispbread – a more nutrient dense alternative to traditional crackers. They’re packed with plant-based protein in the form of seeds and are a perfect medium for transporting all sorts of yummy veggie snackage to your mouth. (I’ve dropped the crispbread recipe below in this post, too, for your convenience.)

Today is Day 4 of the full Sugar Detox Challenge. I’m also adding the twist of following the anti-candida diet which you can learn more about here. One of the keys to succeeding with any diet change, is preparation. Mental and physical. So much of what and how we eat is tied up in our emotions, our memories and our culture that breaking from your traditional diet can be tough.
