Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which support satiety and help reduce inflammation. They’re also a great source of potassium and magnesium — two minerals often depleted in people struggling with Candida or gut dysbiosis.
The seed crackers provide a crunchy, gluten-free base that’s high in fiber but low in sugar — a must when keeping yeast in check. Choose a brand with minimal ingredients, or make your own using flaxseed, sunflower seeds, sesame, and chia. Try our Candida-Friendly Seed Cracker recipe here
