Nope! No formal cooking required! 

The most popular way to prepare Holy Crap cereal is to soak 2 tablespoons of the cereal mix in ¼ cup of water for 5 minutes. Then mix in ¼ or ½ cup yogurt, non-dairy beverage of dairy milk. Play around with the consistency that you prefer. Some people like it more liquidy and some like it to be thick. Add fresh fruit!

For the Maple + Gluten Free Oats, add ½ cup boiling water to 1/3 cup of Maple + Gluten Free Oats. Let stand for 5 minutes and add in fresh fruit and/or nuts.

Our Natural Superseed Blend recipe contains only three organic ingredients, which are the base ingredients of all Holy Crap cereals: chia, hulled hemp seeds and buckwheat. This cereal has 40 % more chia in the blend than the Apple Cinnamon cereal. Apple Cinnamon contains seven ingredients: the same seed blend as the Natural blend and added organic dried fruit – cranberries, raisins, apple bits and a touch of organic cinnamon.

Erika Weissenborn, B.Sc., FNH, CHN says, “From a nutritional standpoint the addition of the dried fruits adds some naturally occurring sugars (3 g of sugars in a serving of Apple Cinnamon compared to 0 g in Natural) for added flavour. Natural is a great product to have for someone who is seriously watching their sugar intake, such as a diabetic individual. Natural also allows you to customize your cereal to your preference – add your own fresh fruit, seeds or spices for an individualized experience!

Both cereals are amazing products and it’s your choice if you want your cereal with or without the dried fruit!”

Erika Weissenborn, B.Sc., Food, Nutrition and Health for Holy Crap Cereal says, “Aside from the nutritional content of these cereals being top notch, this cereal will help to sustain your blood sugar levels and keep you satisfied until lunch, which is something I always look for in a breakfast cereal! With nothing refined or altered added, your body knows exactly what to do with a product like this. Just eat real food!”

Chia seeds are no doubt an amazing superfood. My favourite benefit is their soluble fiber, which is a very healing and gentle form of fiber for the digestive tract. They are a great way to detoxify the gut, and
keep you feeling satisfied. Find out more in this article.

Hulled hemp seeds contain the ideal ratio of essential fatty acids Omega-6 and Omega-3. Our standard diet today provides heightened levels of Omega-6, which can actually produce an inflammation response in the body. By eating foods like hemp that contain balanced sources of both Omega-6 and Omega-3 you will reap the benefits of these essential fats: healthy skin and hair, development of nervous system, regulation of inflammatory responses and more!

Buckwheat is not a cereal or a grass. It’s a fruit seed related to rhubarb and sorrel. It’s gluten-free! Buckwheat is my favourite gluten free substitute! It has a rich nutty flavour, and is packed with nutrients.
It’s also a very versatile seed, that has much of the flavour and consistency of wheat, without the gluten. Find out more in this article.”

All our cereals are produced in our own dedicated gluten-free factory in Gibsons, BC. We do not produce any other products in the factory.

Erika Weissenborn, B.Sc., FNH, CHN says, “Gluten-free foods aren’t only beneficial for those with Celiac Disease. Over the last few years, gluten-free diets have become quite common and you may be wondering why eating this way has gained in popularity.

Wheat products and derivatives are so frequent in our food supply today. This overexposure to wheat causes many people to start developing sensitivities to gluten (which is a protein component of wheat – it’s what makes wheat have that “gluey” consistency).

Wheat products can be very harsh on the gastrointestinal tract. Gluten sensitivities may also show up in other areas of the body, such as generalized inflammation.

Another reason to cut out gluten is that most of the wheat products consumed today are refined in some way that causes small to extreme sugar imbalances in the blood stream. All of these are reason to try out a
gluten-free lifestyle. It may do wonders for you!”

Erika Weissenborn, B.Sc., FNH, CHN for Holy Crap Cereal says, “Approximately 30% of calories are coming from carbohydrate sources. I’ve given the breakdown of the carbohydrate content for all cereals
below.

A large portion of the total carbs comes from fibre, which doesn’t really contribute calories (or energy) to food. The sugar portion comes from the dried fruit. The remainder comes from complex carbohydrate sources that the body breaks down slowly, and maintains a steady stream of energy to the blood stream. These complex carbohydrates help to feed and nourish your gut, which can help you maintain optimal gut health.

Simply speaking the carbohydrates that are in these cereals are of the highest quality, and won’t cause insulin or sugar rushes that you would receive from refined cereals (like from many breakfast products on the market). If you are highly concerned about your intake of carbohydrates then Natural would be preferred over the other 3 options solely due to the absence of dried fruit.”

Our cereals are peanut and tree nut free. We only produce our own cereals in our nut-free factory. Some of our suppliers do also supply nuts to other companies, however they segregate nuts from non-nut
ingredients in their warehouses to prevent cross-contamination of allergens. See pictures of our factory.

Erika Weissenborn, B.Sc., FNH, CHN says, “Unrefined, low glycemic ingredients, like those in Holy Crap cereals are ideal for people with diabetes. Our Natural blend has 0 g of naturally occurring sugars per serving. Mix with an unsweetened dairy alternative and this provides an excellent breakfast option.” Find out more in this article.

Erika Weissenborn, B.Sc., FNH, CHN says, “Many times during pregnancy women’s blood sugar is heightened due to hormonal changes during gestation. Eating foods that are unrefined, and low on the glycemic scale like Apple Cinnamon, and especially Holy Crap Natural blend can help pregnant women stabilize their blood sugar and reduce effects of hormone fluctuations.” Find out more in this article.

Despite its name, buckwheat is actually not wheat! It’s a seed rather than a grain, meaning it’s gluten-free and safe for those with gluten intolerances, allergies or celiac disease!

Erika Weissenborn, B.Sc., FNH, CHN says, “Buckwheat is my favourite gluten-free substitute! It has a rich nutty flavour, and is packed with nutrients. It’s also very versatile seed, that has much of the flavour and consistency of wheat, without the gluten.” Find out more in this article.

The organic dried cranberries and blueberries in Holy Crap cereal are sweetened with organic sugar. The sugar content in the nutritional fact label includes the naturally occurring sugar in the dried fruit and also the added sugar.

Holy Crap Apple Cinnamon and Blueberry Apple cereal are not considered raw as the dried fruit (cranberries, apple, raisins and blueberries) are dried at a temperature over 118 degrees. All other ingredients in Holy
Crap (buckwheat, chia, hemp hearts and cinnamon) are raw. Our Natural blend is raw as it only contains raw buckwheat, chia and hulled hemp seeds.

Erika Weissenborn, B.Sc., FNH, CHN says, “The fibre content in these cereals help the digestive system function optimally, which includes regular bowel movements. It also contributes to a healthy gut, and
provides overall digestive support, without any sense of urgency. If you are having trouble with constipation, remember to drink lots of water as well!”

A serving size is 2 tablespoons. Are 2 tablespoons REALLY enough for my breakfast? Yes, indeed!  2 tablespoons of Holy Crap Apple Cinnamon, Natural and Blueberry Apple cereal expands when hydrated to make a much larger volume serving that will make you feel full and satisfied through to lunch time.
