Per my dietician's recommendation I mixed my flax meal with GY for a delicious new treat. Well maybe if I was really hungry but, on the other hand, I might have come up with an exciting new product . . . or not. Here's what happened.
I had a container of about 6 oz of GY and since I eat half that amount at a time decided to mix in 2 oz of flax meal. Serving size would be 3 oz of GY and 1 oz of flax meal. The fiber is 7.7 grams per serving or roughly 25% of where I'd like to be.
The first thing I noticed was it got thicker and brown and tasted a little funny. Not a terrible taste but instead of Greek Yogurt I had something kind of flat, no zing. That tart taste was gone. And it was thickening, I had to add water, about 2 oz, then 3 oz then let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. The flax meal soaked up a lot of the moisture making the stuff a little like partially hardened cement (kinda looked like it too). So I added more water, 2 oz then a couple more. Now it's real runny and there's not the slightest sign of that tart and tangy tongue twister my GY once had.
Not very appetizing but I know it's good for me. Organic, non-GMO, gluten free, bland and a little bitter. All the hallmarks of a true health food.
