Notes

Tips.
  • Use ground flax seed. Grounded flax seeds are easy to digest and absorb nutrients as opposed to whole flax seeds.
  • Make it ahead. This is a great grab-and-go healthy weekday breakfast. Prepare them over the weekend in a mason jar with a tight lid and enjoy them during the week.
  • Add toppings. This is a great way to customize the flavor and texture of the pudding to your liking.
  • Whisk well. This will ensure you combine the ingredients better.
  • Sweet it up. As for any pudding, adding some sweetness will maximize the flavor.
  • Stick to 1:2 (flaxseed: liquid) for the flaxseed pudding ratio.

  • Make it creamy. Heavy whipped cream, Yogurt, cream cheese.
  • Dried fruits. Date, cherry, apricot, cranberry, or raisins.
  • Make it a whole 30. Instead of sweetener, You may use mashed ripe banana, dates, or apple sauce for sweetness.
  • Make it keto. Use stevia for sweetness and nut butter as a topping.
