    FYI my nutritionist said to store flax seed in the freezer after opening or it will start to lose its nutrients.
    On my bag of milled flaxseed, it states to store it in the refrigerator after opening.

    I mixed 1tbs of flaxseed + 1tbs of oat bran with milk as porridge.
    I use to add a drop of vanilla essence but I'm happy to have it without now. It fills me up for hours!

    I make muffins with it:

    4 tbsp. flaxseed meal
    1 egg
    1 tsp butter / oil
    1/4 tsp cinnamon
    1/4 tsp truvia
    baking powder (can't remember the amount)

    Mix together in small microwavable bowl, pop it in for 1 minute and good to go.

    I put cream cheese on mine, but you can add all kinds of toppings. You can also add fruits and/or nuts to the muffin while it's cooking. I've been think of trying some apple bits. Really you can do anything.

    I put it in just about everything, coffee, oatmeal, baked goods. I put the whole seeds on salad. It's good for high cholesterol and a dash of it on some of the things you're eating throughout the day can't hurt!

    I use Flax meal in my hamburgers to help us all digest the red meat better. All good times, keep posting.

    I kind of just sprinkle it in soft serve food, i.e. yogurt, hot cereal, etc. although I did try it on some pizza yesterday. But I really just eat it on mooshy foods lol But also salads.

    I just started using ground Flaxseed in hope to help me get and stay more regular. My question s how much should I be using? I have whole Flax and I ground it in my coffee grinder. I have been sprinkling it on my yogurt but I would be interested in hearing other ways to eat it as well.

    I use between 1 and 2 tbs depending on how much milk and yogurt I am using in my smoothie. Add 1 tbs of coconut oil and you will be regular and very smooth. Since I have started using CO, I am amazed at the difference - some times twice per day.

    One minute muffin HOLLA loooooooooooooove them! It's 1/2 a tsp baking powder and I use Rumford reduced sodium and add 47g of blueberries and 25g of ground flax (you can just grind whole flax seed in the your grinder/vitamix/blender instead of buying seperate flax meal. They are delicious and make you poop like a champ -_^
