Maddimo1 - here is a link, complete with nutritional info, tuck in

And this is from a post by member clearviews, unfortunately I cant find the post itself, I copied and pasted this a while ago and saved it so here it is:
"For the last few mornings, as it is winter here and I wanted a change from bacon, eggs, mushroom, zucchini, I have been having a kind of porridge inspired by something IanD posted, I think. I put 2 T ground almonds, 2 T golden flax seed meal, a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg, dash of sweetener of choice with water to mix to a runny paste. Zap in the microwave for 1 min just to heat it and stir in a dollop of cream. Comfort food.
I don't have cereal in the house but I always have almond meal and flax seed meal.
No miniscule portion of cereals keeps me under 6.0 so this is my alternative."
You can add rhubarb or berries to any of these to make them even healthier.
All the best

Flak is what they shoot aeroplanes down with :lol:
Flax is otherwise know as Linseed. It is available in two sorts golden fax and ordinary which is a lot darker.
The golden tastes better as Flax meal.
To make meal just zap it in a food grinder until it is like flour. Then mix with milk (I use soya milk) and sweetner and microwave, it needs to cook for a while or it tastes floury. I have never added peanut butter, but note that ordinary peanut butter has sugar added. You can get sugar free.
Be warned the porridge is quite glutinous, it really "sticks to your ribs", it is a good anti constipation aid as welll so go easy at first.
Flax seed can be purchased at Holland and Barratt, I buy it when they have their "penny sale" on.
