I'm experimenting with different forms of fiber. Chia seeds and flax seeds and fiber supplements. I have coffee grinder and grind up the flax seed. At first I was making them to course. Was putting them on foods, mostly oatmeal. Didn't like it too much. But recently, I discovered that if you grind up the flax seed to a finer consistency it tastes much better and is easier to eat. I have also begun put it in protein drinks and orange juice. Its pretty good and hardly noticeable. Other than it turns the orange juice a slight browner color. no big deal. I bought chia seeds for the first time this week. soaked them, yuk ! don't like that. However, I ate them raw and they were good but if you don't eat them quickly they swell and get in your teeth. So started adding them a small amount of peanuts and they go down nicely. I'll play around with them some more and see how I like to incorporate and consume them. Has to work for me and the way I like to eat. Simplicity is best. The fiber supplements are ok. I prefer to use those sparingly as I don't like any of the added ingredients.
