Flaxseed Drink

[diamand]

Hi!
How can I eat flaxseed?
Can I make a drink? Does it dissolve?

If you mean the milled flax, I put it on my yoghurt in the mornings - nice slightly nutty flavour. Put some in casseroles. Make savoury biscuits.

I use it in my home made "granola" to have with yoghurt and berries for breakfast.

I add mine to my yogurt, stir it in, then add a few berries for taste.

you can use it for baking, thickening sauces and gravies, adding to cereals and yogurts, making crackers (both raw and cooked) and even as a topping to scatter on salads. I mainly use it for making this stuff:

I seem to be addicted to it.

Thanks but I want to consume large amounts 2x100g can I make a protein drink with it or something?

Try it and see. I tried it and it didn't work. It didn't dissolve and was disgusting.

Well work up to it gradually. Your guts might take a while to adjust

Have you tried using a nutri blender and mix it with Full fat natural yoghurt and something like tomato juice to keep the carbs down but to make it fluid enough to drink?
