Tina’s Veggie Cracker Bread

Tina’s Veggie Cracker Bread

Save the pulp from the almond milk you’ve made to make Tina’s Veggie Cracker Bread!

Because I believe food strongly impacts health I try to buy the best, which I define as organic, local and minimally processed. Sometimes this results in spending more on food so I make a considered effort to use all the food I buy—vegetable scraps make broth, juice pulp provides a base for soup or an addition to bean spreads and almond pulp? Well, thanks to Placerville Natural Foods Co-op member, Tina May, almond pulp will be used to make veggie cracker breads.  In my quest to minimize processed foods, I stopped buying crackers a long time ago and I never thought about trying to make them. These cracker breads are healthy, tasty and just as easy to make as almond milk. Thanks Tina!
