Introduction
Flaxseeds have been celebrated for centuries for their nutritional power and versatility. Tiny but mighty, these seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. Incorporating flaxseeds into your daily diet doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re trying to boost your energy, improve digestion, or simply eat cleaner, this easy recipe will help you harness the benefits of flaxseeds in a delicious and convenient way.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds (freshly ground preferred)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of sea salt
Optional toppings: fresh berries, banana slices, chopped nuts, chia seeds
Directions:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine almond milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir gently.
Add the ground flaxseeds and a pinch of sea salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency.
Remove from heat and sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired.
Pour into a bowl and add your favorite toppings.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Enjoy this warm as a hearty breakfast or let it cool slightly and serve as a snack. It pairs well with herbal tea or a smoothie.

Chocolate Twist: Add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder during cooking for a chocolaty version.
Green Boost: Blend in a handful of spinach or matcha powder before simmering for extra antioxidants.
