# 15: Lo from Honey Nut Lo
#78: The Balance Broad
Congratulations ladies! I’ll be e-mailing you to get your addresses! 🙂
And Now..
It’s your chance to win some Doctor in the Kitchen Flax Crackers. Pay close attention!
First things First – a cruuucial review so you know what you’re getting yourself into!
I’ve been on a flax cracker trip lately and am just loving the flavor of the flaxseed AND the wonderful nutritional profile of flax crackers! Recently, I was sent 3 different flavors of Doctor in the Kitchen “Flackers” to sample and have to say…these crackers are DEFINITELY right up my alley!
The stats:
- These satisfying crackers come in 3 flavors: Savory, Dill, and Rosemary
- Ingredients are simple, natural, and recognizable
- Each bag contains around 16 crackers in 5oz boxes
- Each serving = 3 crackers = ~100 calories
- Texture = awesome!! All the crackers embody the very idea of a satisfying cracker that lies between hearty and light in terms of texture. They are crunchy, not crumbly and can hold up extremely well to any heavy condiments. Unlike Kathy’s Krackers, these are thinner, composed of 4-5 layers of tightly-compressed flax seeds with herbs and spices intermingled throughout.
Check out the website for nutritionals stats and full list of ingredients here.
Tastiness: 8.5/10. Excellent savory onion and garlic flavor that also packs a bit of a spicy punch. This flavor has a complexity to it that I enjoy. You get the nuttiness from the flax, but the seasonings added to the cracker come through extremely well – particularly the onions and garlic. They are not overly salty and taste wonderful by itself or with a mild soup like the black bean soup I had! Needless to say, the whole package disappeared within 2 meals. Uh Oh.
Flavor #2: Rosemary
Check out the website for nutritionals stats and full list of ingredients here.
Tastiness: 6/10. I can only take 2 slices before I’m overwhelmed with the rosemary flavor. Looking closely, you see a ton of dried rosemary herbs studded evenly throughout the entire cracker. Though I do enjoy rosemary in small doses, these crackers were made for the rosemary LOVER. However, the cracker has great crunch and a hearty, nutty savory undertone that I really enjoy as long as I don’t have more than 2.
Check out the website for nutritionals stats and full list of ingredients here.
Tastiness: 7.5/10. Call me biased, but I can enjoy dill in larger doses than rosemary. Thus, this dill cracker was really tasty to me. It is very much like the savory cracker, except it has a much higher concentration of dill. If you look closely, you can see all the green specks of dill baked into the crackers. There is definitely a spicy kick to the cracker and I enjoyed the presence of the herbs in conjunction with the regular flavors of the savory cracker.

Don’t enter me because I am in the UK (HINT: come visit!) but I wanted to say that I love your reviews. They give all the necessary info, personal touch, are honest and fun to read 😀
I love the reviews, they are thorough and fun!
You are already on my blogroll!
I LOVE these crackers – so much so that I recommended them to you after your initial review of Kathy’s Krackers! I learned that flax seeds can help with diabetes prevention and control!
I think your product reviews are awesome… I honestly can’t think of a way for you to improve them. Maybe explain why you chose to review them, the product benefits?
I think your reviews are great the way they are and are some of the most comprehensive I”ve seen, so I have no suggestions there 🙂
I actually didn’t know that flax seeds are high in antioxidants!
I’m following you, and I tweeted about it! The rosemary flavor sounds like one I would REALLY enjoy!
When I went to the website, it was interesting to learn that the flackers were gluten-free and sugar-free! The rosemary and dill both sound delicious 🙂
Your product reviews are great too, the only thing that I can think of for improvement would be more photos, like of the flackers themselves, just to get the idea of their texture.
Oh, and I’m following you on my google reader 🙂
Dr. Alison Levitt’s favorite food is flax seeds!! and the crackers are sugar and gluten free 😀
I absolutely love your product reviews as is: the layouts, the colors, everything works!
great reviews lady! I’m feelin that savory flavor. I think it would probably taste almost illegal with eggs and laughing cow. mmm mmm
duh you’re on my googs reader..
and i’m about 99% sure i had NO IDEA you were a tweeter. i’m now stalking your tweets!
I don’t run outside much in the winter although sometimes I wish i did. It’s just too cold in Minnesota. Saturday I just wore pants and long sleeved tshirt. It was pretty warm. I pulled off my gloves fast.
you’re on my blogroll!
Hmm, perhaps you could post pictures of the ways you incorporate these snacks into your food. it’ll help us “see” how these food could be eaten. or if there are other ways~
i follow you on twitter!
i’ve learned that flaxseeds are POWERhouse!
Flax seeds are naturally high in alpha linolenic acid, a heart healthy omega-3 fatty acid. They are packed with fiber, which helps to maintain normal cholesterol levels and promote optimal digestion. They are a rich source of plant lignans – a type of naturally occurring phytonutrient. Also, these powerhouse seeds are gluten free, so they are great for people with gluten sensitivities and/or celiac’s disease. (from website!)

You’re on my blogroll and I follow you on Twitter!
I learned they’re sugar free
You’re on my blogroll
Honestly, I think your product reviews are pretty perfect. Maybe do a “perfect pairing” segment where you link the product to another food that goes best with it
I’m feeling kinda sickly – I think I need the Doctor in my life to make me feel better 😉
Just checked out the site and learned that flax seeds are high in Omega-3 fatty acids.. me gusta!
yikes — I’m stumped! I already love your product reviews 🙂 I suppose just more pictures of the actual product and what you paired them with?! but I think your reviews are perf already!
already following you — duhski 🙂
and your on my blogroll, obv ❤
you are on my blog roll 😀
I love the rosemary one (though it has a lower rating :P, I remember once I tried a rosemary cookie, it’s really herb fresh 😀
The crackers are sugar free? awesome!
I follow you on twitter @lmcder01
I tweeted the giveaway @lmcder01
Thanks so much for the opportunity! I think if you copied and pasted the nutritional info. from the product’s website(if they have one on it)it would really benefit us so we can see everything, just in case we have certain preferences for things.
I really like the flavors! That’s what interests me the most!
i think your giveaways are great. there is a great variety, lots of ways to enter. i wouldn’t change a thing (except for you to pick me to win more!) 🙂
I checked out their website and learned that the flax seeds are first sprouted to increase the bioavailability of vitamins and nutrients then they are dehydrated at very low temperatures to preserve all of the essential nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids!
Wow, so many great benefits of flax. Super rich in antioxidents. That’s awesome!!!
Thanks for this giveway! I would love to try these yummy sounding crackers.
Your reviews are fantastic! Really, there is not a whole lot of room for improvement. The only little thing I can think of would be to add if you would buy them again or not. I’m always interested to see if people would add a new product to their grocery list.
Flackers! What a cute name! 😀
“Doctor In The Kitchen™ foods are designed for people that want to eat well, feel great and strive for optimal health and vitality.”
Sounds right up my alley!
I think your reviews are very detailed and awesome…perhaps a pic or two of the flackers themselves?
flax seeds are gluten free! i had no idea! great giveaway!
I learned about lignans! I’ve never tried these!
I was glad to be reminded that flaxseeds are gluten free! I have a lot of loved ones who are iffy on gluten, so I’m glad I can still make them yummy flax-based baked goods!
And girl, I totally love your product reviews. You’re really thorough and mention price value, which I appreciate as a poor college student. My only advice would be keep up the good work!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of plant lignans before. Maybe I need to eat more of them? Those crackers should help me with that 😉
I am always on the lookout for good crackers! Thanks so much for this review. I tried to find something that would improve your review but I couldn’t! It was great. Haha. Unfortunately I don’t live near a Whole Foods 😦
These look fantastic! Only 100 calories? 5g of Protein? Perfect!
I can’t think of anything to add – maybe pictures of your own? That’s about it! They are fantastic, otherwise!
flax seeds are full of tasty omega-3s!
hmm I guess you could improve by adding more pictures (I’m very visual) otherwise everything is GREAT!
I learned that the flackers are gluten and sugar free.
Huh – I never knew that flaxseeds were high in antioxidants! Interesting…
I love things with flax! Great giveaway!
I was interested to learn that they sprout their flaxseeds. I’ve played around a bit with sprouting but have never thought to sprout my flaxseeds so I may have to try that.
I think your reviews are great and very thorough but if you really want to spend more time writing them, it would be cool to see a picture of the actual cracker and maybe some dippage ideas!
following you on twitter!
You had me at dill. Mmmm, dill.
I think the most interesting, and saddest, thing I learned from the Dr in the Kitchen website is that they are only available in the US. Boo-urns!
Your reviews are great as they are–love the descriptive words! The ratings are helpful too! Keep that up.
You are on my blogroll!

Flackers are sprouted and dehydrated, so they are a raw food product. I’ve never had a raw cracker before…so cool!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
