1/8 tsp. baking soda works fine...and you don't taste that nasty baking soda flavor!

You can also add some walnuts and if you can tolerate the extra carbs, raisins, dried blueberries or dried cherries.

I just started taking Flax Oil pills. I bought a bag of meal and a bag of seeds and kept forgetting to use them. This sounds like it would be and easy healthy way to get more flax into my diet..Thank you! -
