Flaxmeal Cereal

Warm Flax Cereal
(serves 1)

Ingredients:
5 T. flax meal or 4 T. whole flax seeds
warm water
honey
cinnamon
pinch of sea salt

Directions:
Blend whole flax seeds in a coffee grinder until it reaches a fine texture.
Pour into a bowl and stir in cinnamon and sea salt. Add enough warm water until it reaches a creamy texture. Stir in honey. Eat right away because the cereal will thicken quickly. Drink a glass of water because the cereal is high in fiber.

Easy Flax Breakfast Pudding


Ingredients:
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup water
1 egg
Sugar substitute to taste
Mixins as desired (see below)

Directions:
Mix flax meal, egg, and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds. Move the cooked part of the pudding towards the center of the bowl and add any mix-ins you want. Microwave for about 45-60 more seconds, depending on mix-ins (frozen fruit will need even longer cooking, as it will cool down the pudding). Stir and eat.

Possible Additions:
Fresh or frozen berries or other fruit
Unsweetened coconut
Peanut butter or other nut butters
Sugar-free maple or other syrup
Sugar-free jam or preserves
Chopped nuts
