Looking for an Allergy Friendly Valentine’s Day treat for someone special?

I took these dark chocolate and sunflower seed butter cups from and transformed them into something extra special ♥️

Dark Chocolate Sunflower Butter Cups
Ingredients:
* 6 Dark Chocolate Sunflower Butter Cups
* Topping Ideas:
* Shredded Coconut
* Fresh Berries
* Dried fruit
* Nuts/Seeds
* Cocoa Powder
* Powdered Sugar

Directions:
* For Coconut/Raspberry: unwrap sunflower cups and place on a baking sheet under a broiler for 20-30 seconds or until top has just begun to melt. Be careful, this happens quickly! Remove cups from oven and sprinkle with coconut and top with raspberry. Return to freezer to cool completely before serving.
* For Nuts/Seeds: follow instructions for Coconut. Cool completely before adding cocoa or powdered sugar.
* For Cocoa/Sugar Heart Dusted: DO NOT HEAT. Cut out a paper heart shape stencil and place in top of sunflower cup. Dust with powdered sugar or cocoa powder. Remove stencil and enjoy!

Health Benefits of Prebiotics and Probiotics for People with Celiac Disease

The term “probiotics” and “prebiotics” are commonly talked about in the health world, but what’s the difference?

🍃Prebiotics are essentially non-digestible parts of plants that feed the “good“ bacteria in your gut.

🦠Probiotics are live organisms that are beneficial for out gut health.

Helping to both cultivate and grow “good” bacteria in our gut is helpful (especially to those with celiac disease) in a few ways:
✨may help with conditions like diarrhea, constipation, IBS, lactose intolerance, and atopic dermatitis.
✨supports your immune system & helps control inflammation
✨helps digest food we eat to give us nutrients we can absorb

While there are many supplements on the market for both, there are also many food sources of both Prebiotics and Probiotics!
