Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers

When I first tried Simple Mills crackers, I was skeptical. Almond flour crackers sounded like health food compromise - the kind of thing you eat because you "should," not because you want to. I was wrong.

Fine Blanched Almond Flour, Sunflower Seeds, Flax Seeds, Tapioca Starch, Cassava Flour, Organic Sunflower Oil, Sea Salt.

That's it. Seven ingredients I can pronounce and buy individually. No preservatives, no gums, no "natural flavors," no hidden anything. This is what "simple" should mean.

Traditional wheat crackers are primarily refined flour - quick-burning carbs with minimal nutrition. Simple Mills uses blanched almond flour as the primary ingredient, which changes the nutritional equation:

• Higher protein (3g per serving vs. 1-2g for wheat crackers)
• Higher healthy fats
• Lower net carbs
• More satiating

The addition of sunflower seeds and flax seeds adds fiber and omega-3s. This is genuinely nutrient-dense snacking.

Per serving (17 crackers, 30g):

• Calories: 150
• Sugar: 2g
• Fiber: 2g
• Protein: 3g
• Fat: 10g (mostly from almonds and seeds)

The 2g sugar is excellent - these are savory, not sweet. The protein and healthy fat content means kids actually stay satisfied, unlike empty-calorie wheat crackers.

Here's the surprise: my kids love these. The Sea Salt flavor is crispy, lightly salty, and addictively good. They have a subtle nuttiness from the almond flour but don't taste "health food-y."

Flavor options include Sea Salt, Farmhouse Cheddar, Rosemary & Sea Salt, Sundried Tomato & Basil, and more. Sea Salt and Farmhouse Cheddar are kid favorites. The herb varieties appeal more to adults.

These are legitimately crispy crackers, not soft or crumbly almond flour disappointments. They hold up to dips (hummus, guacamole) without breaking. They stay crunchy even after a few days opened. The texture is a genuine achievement for grain-free crackers.

Simple Mills crackers contain tree nuts (almonds) as the primary ingredient. This means:

1. Not for nut-free schools - These are definitively not allowed in nut-restricted environments.
2. Not for tree nut allergies - Obviously.

For families without nut restrictions, this isn't an issue. For those with restrictions, look elsewhere.

At $5.99 for a 4.25oz box (~$0.43/oz), Simple Mills costs more than conventional crackers (Wheat Thins run about $0.30/oz). You're paying a premium for:

• Almond flour base
• Simple, clean ingredients
• Grain-free, gluten-free status
• Superior nutrition

For our family, the nutritional upgrade justifies the cost. These are pantry staples.

Simple Mills crackers work in multiple contexts:

• Paired with cheese for protein-packed snacks
• With hummus or guacamole for dipping
• As a cracker for adult cheese boards (yes, they're that good)
• Crushed as breading alternatives for cooking

The versatility adds value - this isn't a specialty "kids snack" that only kids eat.

Simple Mills crackers are:

• Certified Gluten-Free
• Non-GMO Project Verified
• Paleo-friendly
• Grain-free

They're NOT organic (the ingredients are conventional). For some families, that matters.

Families seeking genuinely clean-ingredient crackers. Parents following grain-free or gluten-free diets for health reasons. Anyone who appreciates almond flour's nutritional advantages over wheat. Adults who want snacks they can share with kids.

Families with tree nut allergies. Anyone needing nut-free school snacks. Parents on tight budgets who can't afford the premium. Those who specifically want organic certification.

Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers set the standard for clean-ingredient crackers. Seven simple ingredients, genuinely great taste, superior nutrition to wheat crackers, and texture that delivers. The tree nut content limits their use in school settings, but for home snacking and nut-allowed environments, these are our top cracker recommendation.
