Storing GG in the Summer Months

GG is an effective weight-loss tool due to its qualities of absorption with moisture. With that tendency to draw moisture comes one drawback; The rapidly approaching humid summer months can cause the crackers to lose a bit of their crisp quality. We strongly recommend that you store both the crackers and Sprinkle in the refridgerator or freezer, to assure freshness.

One of the most interesting aspects of GG’s unique composition is that there is no need to defrost once frozen.  If you care for a crisper cracker, simply pop it in the toaster or oven for just a few minutes. 

In the freezer, GG stays fresh and delicious for up to six months. So, enjoy the highest dietary fiber year round, at your convenience!

Sincerely,

The GG Team

Summer GG Recipes

The weather is changing, (for the better) and it is time to mix it up in the kitchen!  GG Bran Crispbread Sprinkles and Crackers are an excellent addition to your healthy, high fiber summer diet.  Dash Sprinkles over a crisp salad or in your favorite fruited yogurt or smoothie.

Try this fast, healthy and delicious lunch of a GG crakers, topped egg salad:

Two hard-boiled eggs

1 tablespoon of low fat or fat-free mayonaise

2 teaspoons of minced yellow onion or shallots

1 teaspoon of minced celery

A dash dried herbs of your choice (parsely, basil oregano, mustard) 

In a small bowl, mash the egg thoroughly, then add all of the other ingredients, stirring well with a fork.

Top your GG cracker with the egg salad, then add a dash of paprika on top.

Another fantastic topping to GG that doesn’t require slaving over a hot stove:

2 tablespoons of cottage cheese and a small dollop of your favorite salsa.

Or, sliced avocado sprinkled with cracked red and black pepper.

If you care for something sweeter and an even greater portion of fiber, add some raspberries to your cottage cheese and just a dash of cinnamon.

How do you enjoy GG as the temperature rises?  Please share with us!!!!!
