So guys, I have a confession…. this year I have eaten bread for the first time in over 2 years and I have totally loved it.
 
 
Yep – I have ordered that burger with a white brioche bun and devoured it like the world might end soon. It was so good and awakened my need for gluten free healthier bread alternatives after several years of being hard core grain free and following the GAPS protocol.

Said burger – SO GOOD!
 
And what do you know – that is what I have got today!
 
 
 But why do I avoid bread? In general, I would say most feel would feel immensely better and less bloated by halving their bread/gluten intake as it has become a staple of our western diet which I don’t think is healthy and is mainly profit/business driven not the best for our bodies.
 
 
And for a large proportion of people (like people with IBS, thyroid issues, allergies, or other autoimmune conditions OR if you need to lose weight) they would fair so much better by removing it completely for 2 weeks and to see i you feel better. I do this a lot with my one2one clients  with various types of foods, as it the easiest why to see if which foods is causing any inflammation in the body.

So this is a super simple, speedy and frugal flatbread recipe which make the perfect alternative if you need something to dip into soups or hummus or as a base for healthy cheese on toast. I mean what’s not to love?
 
 
The linseeds/flaxseeds are full of omega 3 fatty acids which actually remain stable whilst cooking making this a great source of healthy fats and helping reduce inflammation, plus they are pretty cheap to buy and give that ‘wholemeal’ feel to the recipe
 
 
Feel free to flavour with different herbs or spices – this is my basic go to with mixed herbs, olive oil and salt but hey get your creative juices flowing if you like.
 
 
To make it healthy cheese on toast simply get a bread knife and carefully slice the flatbread across the middle, sprinkle with organic cheese and whack it under the grill. Go on do it – it will make you happy!

If you didn't know already I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with coffee.   I love it, my gut and body historically have hated it. But all in all, I am a total coffee snob and fiend.   And there is nothing that screams Christmas more than a SEASONAL...
