Hi,

I'm looking for some suggestions on how to incorporate flax seeds or flaxseed oil into my diet. So far I've been taking a spoonful of oil after my breakfast as a supplement. Any ideas on how to make this more appealing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I sprinkle ground flax seeds on cereal. I also use them as an egg substitute when I bake.

I was on a big flax kick for a while... don't really know why I got out of it... but anyways,

I've used milled flax seeds in pancakes, smoothies, chocolate chip cookies, and muffins. I think it works best in baking.

oh, and I used to love putting flax oil on baked potatoes.

Flax Seed oil has been attributed to increased risk of prostate cancer.

I great way to get your ground flax seed in every day is in your oatmeal if you eat it, in your morning smoothie or blended salad. Sprinkled on your daily salad. Or a new way I just heard of from a member at the health boards is to put it on a plate and roll/dip your banana in it!!

I've got flax seed cookies, they're awesome for a snack but not as good for you as just the pure stuff and some fruit.

I hate the stuff. If it didn't need to be ground I would be so much happier, but... eh. I mostly add it to hot cereal, occasionally to cold cereal or smoothies (but dislike it very much in both- it's well-hidden in oatmeal). Are flax cereals, breads, etc. any good, nutritionally?

Be careful with flaxseeds - I read somewhere that flaxseed oil can affect the contraceptive pill! Someone tell me if I'm just talking rubbish...

Just thought I'd let you know, wouldn't want any accidents
