This flax meal peanut butter hot cereal recipe is a healthy way to start your day. It has 10 grams of fiber, one-third of which is soluble, which is good for you, but that's a lot of fiber all at once. If you are not used to a lot of fiber, you may not want to eat a whole recipe of this. (The recipe is easily cut in half.) That said, it's delicious and quick to make, and will help you get through the morning. Ingredients 1/4 cup flax seed meal 1/2 cup water (boiling) 2 tablespoons peanut butter 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon Preparation In a heatproof cereal bowl, place flax seed meal. Pour boiling water over and stir well. Stir in peanut butter and cinnamon. Let thicken for 1 to 2 minutes. Eat. Flax Seed Tips If you've never used flax seeds as part of your diet, here are some things to consider: There is so much soluble fiber in flax, it is important to drink plenty of water, otherwise, constipation might result.If you aren't used to a high-fiber diet, start slowly.In order to get the full benefit everything flax has to offer, you need to grind whole seeds or purchase flax seed already ground (flax seed meal).For people who can't or choose not to eat eggs, flax is a good egg substitute. It's often used in baked goods because the soluble fiber adds structure to the food.Grinding about 2/3 to 3/4 cup of flax seed will yield 1 cup of flax meal. Eating Flax Seed If you're not sure how to start incorporating flax seeds into your diet, try these suggestions: Raw or toasted: Sprinkle over cottage cheese, ricotta, yogurt, breakfast cereal, and put in shakes (thickens them somewhat).Cooked in a hot cereal: As in this peanut butter cereal recipe or hot pumpkin cereal.Cooked into other foods: For example, meatloaf, meatballs, or casseroles.
