5 ways to enjoy flax seed at breakfast
It’s often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day but many of us start the day by skipping breakfast, opting to snack on foods during the day. Many people opt to skip breakfast in the pursuit of losing weight but this practice is one that is certainly not recommended. A good hearty breakfast is one of the best ways to ensure you not only eat healthier but also lose weight as you eat. Ensuring you take breakfast on a daily basis will help keep you fuller for longer, reducing the need for snacking on foods high in sugar during the day. The high protein and fibre value of flaxseed makes it an ideal addition to the breakfast table, and below we look at 5 breakfast recipes to enjoy Linwoods milled organic flaxseed with.
