Do you really want that bowl of oatmeal for breakfast but just can't justify the carbs? Try flax meal instead. It prepares instantly and tastes delicious. If you've ever eaten a MIAM (Muffin in a Minute) you know how tasty flax meal can be.
If you are not used to a lot of fiber, you may not want to start with a whole recipe of this. It is almost 13 grams of fiber, and over half of that is soluble, which is good for you, but it's a lot at once. That said, it's yummy, low-carb, quick to make, and will see you through the morning!
