Do I mix water with it to make like an oatmeal? How much water?

Mix it with yogurt?

Something else?

smoothies, health drinks, juice, etc.
spreads, sauces and dips
cheese balls
salad and/or salad dressing
soups and stews
vegetable dishes
fruit dishes
rice, potatoes
eggs (soft-boiled, scrambled, omelets, quiches, etc.)
pasta, lasagna
stuffing
muffins, cookies, etc.
yogurt

I use it on yoghurt only, my mum uses it in porridge, but as it's quite bland you can add it to a lot of stuff for extra fibre.

I had it lastnight in a fruit smoothie (milk, OJ, frozen fruit) - I didnt even know what a serving was (according to TDP it's 2 T) it was just fine! Just a tiny bit gritty, but I'm glad I bought it. I'll be trying it in more stuff later.

Thanks!

Mmm... I had some flax seed in my Yoplait Light Boston Cream Pie Yogurt this morning and it was sooo yummy, it tasted like I added crust for the pie filling I bet it'd be super good with cheesecake yogurt too!
