Think, Eat, Live Sunflower Baking Products
Oh me oh my, I’m so delighted to share my greatest finding with you! To all you clean eaters, parents of kids with food sensitivities, have food sensitivities yourself, or are just looking to consume less inflammatory foods and create more variety, these products are for you.
I first discovered them when looking for alternatives for Tommy who we recently discovered has some food sensitivities to almond, eggs, and pineapple. We decided to eliminate these totally from the diet for about 6 months or so as we continue to work on building his gut immunity, slight brain inflammation, and intestinal permeability that all play a role in his autism spectrum diagnosis.
The pineapple was no biggie. The eggs and almonds….yikes! Being our family has shifted to a more paleolithic style, I had no idea how many nuts we were consuming in those grain-free paleo flours. I still love them, but wanted to find something I can use to make our cookies, muffins, and pancakes that didn’t involve almonds or gluten. Oh and it had to taste good obviously.
Then I discovered Think Eat Live products. They are made primarily with sunflower seeds pulsed into a flour. The best part about these products is that a lot of them are already mixed with the other dry ingredients (coconut palm sugar, yay) so saves a TON of kitchen time.
We love the muffin mix, the pancake mix, and brownie mix is heavenly, and we cannot wait to try the paleo pizza crust! Use code NUTRIYOGI for 10% off EVERY PURCHASE!
Here are a few facts straight from their website:
Starting the day with a SunFlour pancake, waffle, muffin or SunPower bar fills you up, gives you steady, consistent energy and sets you up to have a great day. Check out the balanced, positive nutrition of SunFlour:
Protein — 20% Daily Value to support muscle development and a healthy metabolism. Because protein takes 25% more energy to digest than carbohydrates or fat, you burn more calories just by adding more protein to your diet. The protein in SunFlour is all-natural, easier to digest and more bioavailable than refined protein isolates.
Fiber — 15% Daily Value to help you feel full longer, improving weight management and digestive health. Fiber also helps support a healthy glucose level and sweeps away bad cholesterol and toxins from your body. You’ll get more fiber than an apple or bowl of bran flakes.
Ideal Fat Profile — Don’t fear the good fats! They can actually help you lose weight, carry out bad cholesterol and support brain elasticity. 90% of fat in sunflower seeds is the healthiest type of plant-based fat (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) that delivers fat soluble Vitamin E and helps you feel full longer. Most progressive health practitioners recommend at least 1 serving of seeds or nuts daily, to increase these healthy fats.
Micronutrient Rich — Gluten sensitivities and celiac disease can leave your intestines inflamed and block the absorption of vitamins and minerals. SunFlour can help naturally replenish vitamins and minerals your body is missing. SunFlour has 10–50% Daily Value of over 11 essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin E, Folate, B-vitamins, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Selenium and Zinc.
SunFlour Makes Nutritious Delicious!
Simply put, the healthy fats in SunFlour produce a naturally moist baked good. We sweeten most of our mixes with organic coconut palm sugar, which is vitamin & mineral rich and low glycemic. To create a light, fluffy texture similar to traditional baked goods, we use an ancient grain, sorghum. The end result is you’d-never-know-its-gluten-free baked goods - delicious and nutritious enough to be a hearty breakfast, a powerful snack, or even a meal substitute.
Free From Most Common Allergens
SunFlour is a perfect “nut free” alternative to nut flours, with all the nutritional benefits of nuts. SunFlour is gluten & wheat free, and is free of peanuts, soy and dairy.
