I am getting together with some of my friends to co-host a Pinterest party on Wednesday, May 27 at 9 pm ET. We are going to be sharing summer recipes and DIY projects. Before I tell you about the party, I want to share how two of the prizes we are giving away saved my breakfast.
Once the weather warms up, I start having a berry smoothie each morning for breakfast. I like to add 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal to my smoothies because it is an easy way to add fiber, anti-oxidants, and healthy fats to my diet. However this morning as I was getting ready to make my smoothie, I discovered that I was out of flax meal. I was about to do without, but then I remembered that I had Bob’s Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseeds in my pantry and could make my own flax meal using my KitchenAid 5-Speed Diamond Blender.
Note: My blender is slightly different than the one we are giving away, but both have the diamond blending system, the ability to pulse at every setting, and are super easy to clean up.
How to Make Flax Meal in a Blender
It only takes 20 seconds to grind flax seeds in a blender and make flax meal (or flax powder as it is sometimes called).
Ingredients:
1 cups of flaxseeds
Directions:
Place the flaxseeds in the blender pitcher. Blend on high (speed 5 on my KitchenAid Blender) for 20 seconds or until the seeds are ground and resemble powder.
Use as needed in recipes. Store unused flax meal in an airtight container.
