Anyone have any good ideas how I can add ground flax seed to my diet? I don't eat much bread or baked goodies, and am not a smoothie fan. What else could I mix it into? Thanks!

Don't know about ground flax seed, but you can make homemade muesli with whole flax seed. Just take uncooked old fashioned oatmeal, dried fruits of your choice, and nuts and seeds of your choice (including flax seed) and mix together. Serve with milk or yogurt. |

Thanks for the great ideas ladies! I was thinking along these lines, but was unsure about the texture...looks like a bag of powdery stuff to me! LOL I'll give it a whirl.

I've been adding it to everything. Yogurt, sweet potatoes, hamburgers, etc.

And for you flax fanatics...... linen fabric is actually from the flax plant, so short of hemp, you can't beat this wonderful plant. |

I eat flax in ice cream in the evenings and my a.m. protein shake. (its not a smoothie) So I'm getting about 1/8 cup twice a day
Target's line of organic blueberry flax granola is fantastic...but high in carbs if you aren't very active.
It does wonders for regularity too I can tell if I miss a portion and will often pack a zip lock to take on trips. |

I do all the things that Shirley said...well except for the juice thing...can't get past that texture! But I stir it into oatmeal, I've sprinkled it on a banana and in yogurt. Heck, I've even sprinkled it on baked squash.
Just don't forget to store it in your frig or freezer. The healthy oils in ground flax seed go rancid really quickly.
