Low-Cost Flax O Meal Cinnamon?

So I discovered I really love Flax-O-Meal. The Cinnamon granola thing is so
delicious... however, at $6 per small bag, I can't afford that many of them.

Are there cheaper places online to get it?

If you measure out the half-cup serving, you should get 10 servings
per bag - that's 60 cents a serving.

I said for the next 3 days, yanno, just to get back on track for drinking that
Smirnoff.

Geeze.

I was teasing you.... I just noted the time stamps on the posts and thought
it was funny.

Enjoy!

There have been several recipes posted for variations on flax cereal. I make a
batch consisting of:

1-1/3 cup hazelnut flour
3/4 cup milk & egg protein powder
1-1/3 cup flaxmeal
1/4 cup butter buds
..75 tsp salt

Makes 9 one-third cup-servings of 8.2 carbs/242 cals each. Refrigerate mix to
preserve flaxmeal.

I add 1/3 cup of hot water and either a half-tsp of Frontier maple flavoring (a
flavoring I get from Whole Foods, NOT plain old maple extract) or 1 tsp of
cinnamon, let it sit a minute, then microwave for 1 minute. I use liquid Splenda
to sweeten it. Sometimes I use oat flour instead of protein powder (I use them
to cut down the slime factor of the flaxmeal). You can save carbs by using real
butter (or none) instead of Butter Buds, but I'm trying to keep my calories down.

Jen,

You can make your own flax cereal at home that is better than the packaged
stuff. Here's how.

You need to buy ground flax meal (available at Trader Joe's for $2.19 a big
bag) and a low carb vanilla whey protein powder. You'll also need grated
no-sugar coconut, a small amount of oat bran (also available at Trader Joes)
or if you want it lower carb, wheat bran.

For five serving: In a big bowl mix 10 tablespoons of flax meal, 1 scoop
protein powder, and then as much of the bran and coconut as you like. I use
3 tbs of coconut and 3 tbs of bran. Stir it all up and add 2 tsp of
cinnamon. Keep it in a closed plastic bag.

To use, just stir in boiling water until it is the right thickness for you.
The recipe is very flexible so don't obsess about exact quantities. It
always tastes good. Sweeten it with splenda or DaVinci sugar free syrup or
eat plain.
