Recipe: Robin's Flax Snacks
These no-bake Flax Snacks are a simple and satisfying snack for at home or on the go. They pack fantastically well for busy days running errands, at work or driving kids to and fro. This healthy snack contains flax meal which is an excellent ingredient to add to your nutrition arsenal. It is high in fiber, vegetable protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Consider adding flax meal to baked goods, breakfast cereals, granola and smoothies.
