Flax recipes??

[pushybroad]

I love using flaxseed meal. Since I'm 'doing' Atkins, and there is so much good about flax, it works out great. Here's how I use it...
Protein Shake
in a blender... blend 2 eggs
add 1/4 cup tofu
2 Tbsp flaxseed meal
blend & blend & blend
next, add sugar free syrup 2 glugs, or to taste
you can use Splenda and vanilla flavoring if desired
add 5-6 ice cubes...
blend and enjoy.

I bought some flax seed since I heard the benefits were outstanding. These recipes look great.

But I have a question, how do you grind the flax seed?

[Petunia]

Hello
A small coffee grinder came with my flaxseed. I suppose you can buy them in specialty stores.
