Flaxseeds are super versatile—they’re tiny but packed with fiber, omega-3s, and nutrients. You can use them in sweet or savory recipes. Here’s a simple easy recipe idea:
Flaxseed Energy Bites (No-Bake)
Ingredients (makes ~12 bites):
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseeds (you can grind whole ones in a blender)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix oats, ground flaxseeds, and chocolate chips/dried fruit.
- Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Mix until it forms a sticky dough.
- Roll into small balls (~1 inch).
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Enjoy as a healthy snack!
Tips:
- You can swap peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
- Store in the fridge for up to a week—they stay soft and chewy.
If you want, I can also give a flaxseed recipe for baking—like muffins or bread—so you can sneak them into meals without even noticing. Do you want me to do that?
