Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 + 30 minutes Cardio (Treadmill/Elliptical)
I began the day with a vigorous workout and had another juice for breakfast (minus the parsley due to having run out).
1 lb carrots
2 green apples
1 large grappefruit
3 leaves romaine
Eager to catch some rays, I packed my little cooler (BBQ Kale Chips, Sweet Potato Haystack Fries, and two mini Black Bean Quinoa Burgers topped with Red Onion Basil Aioli). Then I got flax crackers going in the dehydrator and headed out the door.

Unfortunately, mother nature had different weather plans that I anticipated but this turned out to be a good thing in that I found myself at the Christmas Tree Shop (never a bad thing) and scored a little gem but I'm saving that for tomorrows post :-)
In regards to the flax crackers, I am about 14 hours in and they are looking fantastic. Once they are ready I will post a picture but in the mean time, here is the recipe:
Spicy Summer Salsa Crackers
Adapted from Raw Foods on a Budget
1 1/2 cup flaxseeds, whole
3 cups water
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 cup white corn
1 large locally grown red tomatoes
1/2 medium red bell pepper
1/2 medium white onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
1/8 cup olive oil
1 tsp cayenne
Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Soak flaxseeds overnight (or at least 6 hours). When soak time is complete, pour seeds into a large bowl. Next, you will make a liquid sauce to add to the flaxseeds. Remove the corn from the ear using a knife. Now, blend the corn, tomatoes, red bell pepper, white onion, garlic, and olive oil until completely liquified. Then pour the liquid mixture into the large bowl with the flaxseeds. Mix until the liquid mixture is well distributed. Chop up the cilantro and add to the mixture. Now add chia seeds, then the salt, increasing the quanitity to taste.
Pour approximately one third of the mixture onto one Teflex sheet (or parchment paper) and spread it to 1/8-inch thickness. Repeat the process, until you have used all of the mixture. You will need 1-2 more Telfex sheets. Place all sheets in the dehydrator.
Dehydrate the flax crackers at 105-degrees. When the top of the crackers are dry (about 12 hours), turn over and remove the Teflex sheets. Dehydrate for 36 more hours.
Enjoy!!
