Adding fibre
In article .com,
says...
A good breakfast is to nuke 3 TB flax meal and 3 TB unflavored,
unsweetened milk-based protein powder in 2/3 cup water, then doctor the
hot "cereal" with a bit of cinnamon or vanilla, sweetener and cream.
This is especially nice in winter.
I agree! I usually flavor mine with either 1 tsp of cocoa powder or a
1/2 tsp of Frontier maple flavoring and always add butter to the end
result. I don't like the usual vanilla, maple, whatever extracts that
are common in the baking section of most grocery stores because I can
REALLY taste the alcohol in them, hence the Fronteir brand which I can
get at Whole Foods or on-line. With the maple flavoring, it's a lot
like Maypo in flavor and texture. It keeps me "regular" and I suspect
the fatty oil in them is what makes said regularity comfortable.
My recipe mixes flax meal, hazelnut meal and protein powder (I don't
care for the almond meal for cereal, but it's okay for cookies). The
flax meal can have a somewhat slimy texture, hence the protein powder.
Considering the benefits of the flax, protein and fiber all in one dish,
it's a very nutritious and beneficial meal.
