Flax Roll-Up by Damascus Bakery Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!

Having a breakfast sandwich on a bagel is certainly a tasty way to start off your morning. Sadly, that bagel is full of calories and carbs that are not keeping your body healthy. How do you cut the carbs, but keep the flavor? I am glad to say that Damascus Bakery has found the way! Their Flax Roll-Up flat breads contain a net 6 carbs. The flax makes them high in fiber, and it also provides 1000mg of ALA Omega 3's. These healthy fatty acids promote cardiovascular health and healthy brain function. Instead sandwiching your egg inside a bagel, roll it up inside a Flax Roll-Up! Your body and your taste buds will thank you!
If you're looking for an easy way to cut calories without feeling like you're dieting or making a huge sacrifice, look no further than Damascus Bakery. In most of today's healthy eating plans, bread is the first thing to go. However, this poses a problem, because if we cut out bread completely, we feel deprived and end up binging in some other area...or we try to substitute low-carb products that really don't cut it and leave us feeling unsatisfied. Enter: Damascus Bakery. Their line of healthy, low-carb (and low-calorie) roll-ups is something to celebrate! Although they are very thin, they are loaded with wholesome, flavorful goodness. And because they are long and wide, they allow you to add larger portions of the "good stuff" (e.g., sandwich fillings) than typical wraps do. I recently tried the Flax Roll-Up, which not only tasted great, but allowed me to load it up with high-protein, low-fat tuna salad. And flax, itself, offers a plethora of healthy benefits. So, with the Flax Roll-Ups, you can fill up on what's best for you without feeling guilty - definitely a winner in my book!
I broke out the Flax Roll-up for breakfast yesterday morning. This time, I made a breakfast wrap with eggs, bacon, cheese, fresh salsa, avocado and sour cream. It was fantastic! The Roll-up was sturdy, even with all the juiciness of the salsa and sour cream. This gave a different twist to the traditional breakfast wrap or burrito. The Flax version of the Damascus Bakeries Roll-up gave the wrap a slightly nutty flavor. This is definitely a hearty, healthy and delicious breakfast to start your day right, and it’s all based on the Damascus Bakeries Roll-up. 
It's not the flax your grandmother takes, but it's good for your digestion, and delicious for your sandwiches: flax roll-ups. One easier than anything snack: cut up the flax roll-ups into triangles, and pop them into the toaster. Let them crisp, and voila! flax crackers, wonderful with hummus as a protein rich snack. Drizzle a little olive oil over them, sprinkle a little chile powder into the hummus, to give it a bite. And for those of you who have never made their own hummus, you've only got to have a blender. It's quick and easy, and the flavor of home-made does not compare to anything store bought. Tuck one into your backpack for a hike, or a picnic in the park.

For a nation struggling with obesity, Damascus Bakeries' delicious new Bake-Sense All Natural Roll-Ups are the perfect vehicle for healthy lunches and dinners. The four types of ultra thinflatbreads are fortified with essential fibers, proteins and nutrients, and they also have a portion-sense size, so consumers know how many calories and carbs they're eating.

Children, teens and adults will enjoy eating their favorite heart-healthy ingredients inside the all natural and flavorful wraps, for lunch or dinner. The roll-ups come in four types: Garden and Grains, Flax, Whole Wheat andPlain. And unlike many other flatbreads, the Bake Sense Roll-Ups are supple and fold easily over grilled meats, spreads and vegetables or deli meats and cheeses – while offering health benefits from chia and flax seeds.They also are a delicious base for pizza, or can be cut into wedges and quickly baked to make chips for creamy hummus or spicy guacamole.

The Bake-Sense Roll-Ups were created by Damascus Bakeries in Brooklyn. The bakery is owned and operated by third-generation bakers David and Edward Mafoud. The two brothers, whose maternal grandfather started the bakery in 1930, believe that bread is a labor of love. And that love goes into each package of their pita, lahvash, panini and roll-ups. 

The Mafoud's also believe in the credo “Keeping well beats getting well,” which was the inspiration for the Bake Sense Roll-Ups. The flatbreads contain heart-healthy fibers, proteins and nutrients while also being low incalories and carbs. The Bake Sense Roll-Ups were designed to naturally help promote weight management and well being.

But health aside, the roll-ups are pliable and delectable. For instance, the Garden and Grain Roll Ups have ingredients that read like the offering at a farmers market stand. The flatbreads contain red and green bell peppers,onion, spinach and sunflower seeds – which makes them as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate.
