OMG! Flax is a wonderfood! It has a slightly nutty taste, so goes great in yogurts, salads, smoothies, anything you would like nuts in. It CAN be gritty, so start small and work up. It also has a pretty good fat count, so make sure you watch portion sizes. We use it here, we LOVE it, its so full of healthy fats. Matt puts 2 Tbsp's or more in a glass of milk and drinks his, but he's weird. My kids love it, they want it on everything. I also like it as a "crust" for some Fiber-One goodies. Instead of cherry pie, use Fiber one cereal and some flax, with light butter and make the crust then pour in sugar free fruit filling. YUMMY! We also use it in yogurt we then partially freeze and top with fruit and a tsp of honey for a cheesecakey dessert. Try small and try it in different things to see what you might like it with.
