Flax seed ideas

Soniatantu

I just purchased some flax seed was planning on mixing some in my yogurt. Do you have any other suggestions on how you cook or integrate it ? Thanks.

I am all about flaxeggs to use in cooking etc. in place of eggs. Mix some ground up flaxseed with 2 tbsp of water and put it in the fridge to thicken.

This. And I also use it in oatmeal.

I've just purchased both ground flax seed and chia seeds. I'm excited about trying them, but also unsure of how to best use them!

I use both in my smoothies! I can't taste the chia seeds at all, but the flax seeds you can taste a bit and I don't like them with some fruits, so definitely play around a bit if you go this route

I replace about 1/4 cup of flour with ground flax in my baking. I'll also toss it in pancake batter as well. Chia seeds I add to my oatmeal, cereal and mix in to my greek yogurt. Yum!

I add it to buckwheat pancakes, sprinkle it on oatmeal, add a couple tablespoons into healthy cocoa/choc chip cookies (with ground walnuts and ground oats as well), add it to homemade bread...just make sure you store ground flaxseed in the fridge as it goes rancid quickly. A spare coffee grinder does a great job of grinding whole flaxseed.

Curious as to what nutritional benefit you derive from Chia Seeds and Flax Seed?

I make flax muffins, use it in my meatballs and meatloaf for texture, smoothies, if I bake my own bread I put it in there. You can basically add a little flax to everything.

Flax and Chia are both sources of fiber, and I know chia has omega-3's in it too!

Flaxseed high protein low carb pancakes. I like mine with plain greek yogurt and fresh fruit or sugar free syrup.

Be sure to grind them before using or most will just pass right through you. A coffee grinder works well or you can buy them already ground.
