Flaxseed Tip

I know I've mentioned a bit before how flaxseed is an easy addition to punch up the health of your meal. In last month's Reader's Digest, there was an article all about the great benefits of flaxseed and they had some suggestions for using it. I used one, and it was so easy. I thought I'd share it with you as well some reminders of nice and simple ways to add flaxseed in your meals and snacks.


Sprinkle it on your peanut butter when making a pb&j. I put mine together and then remembered to take a picture, so it's on both sides. But I originally just covered my peanut butter in it and then closed it to eat. I couldn't taste any difference.

Other great and easy ways to use flaxseed:
breadings (for fish or chicken)
any red sauce (chili, spaghetti)
sprinkle it in yogurt
blend in a smoothie
add to muffins

I'm sure there are a million other ways to use it? Are there any that you've used that I didn't list?

I put it in my cookies. It makes them fluffier.
