Why You'll Love This Flaxseed Pudding Recipe
- Easy recipe No cooking, no baking. Just mix everything together, let it sit, and enjoy!
- Simple Ingredients Flaxseed meal (ground flaxseeds), milk, maple syrup, banana, and peanut butter.
- Meal Prep The best make-ahead breakfasts are the ones that don't require cooking, haha!
- Healthy Breakfast Option High in fiber, protein, and omega-3 fats which will help you feel full longer.
Ingredient Notes
- Ground Flaxseeds Use ground flaxseed (also known as flax meal). Flaxseeds are high in fiber, omega-3 fats, and phytochemicals called lignans. Do not use whole flaxseeds. Ground flaxseeds absorb more liquid than whole seeds, which will help your body digest them easier.
- Milk I like to use 2% milk, but feel free to use any kind of milk. Good source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D.
- Banana Adds natural sweetness and a creamy texture. Bananas are a good source of fiber and potassium.
- Peanut butter Helps balance out the flavor and texture.
