    Best way to take flax?

    I was wondering the best ways everyone is taking their flax. Are you just slamming it down or mixing it up. I've been off the diet seen for awhile and I can remember when I tried to mix it in my shake it kinda tasted like shi$$.

    Thanks

    If you buy Spectrum organic flax you can spoon it down with very little taste. If you buy cheap flax it is much harder to get down. Either way, just spoon it. The more you do it the easier it gets.

    Its like protein powder. At first it tastes horrible. But after a few weeks, its much easier on the taste buds.

    Enjoy!

    Just slam that shit down. the capsules are a nice break as well, but it sucks because you have to pop a shitload of them to get half of what you'd get in a tablespoon

    personally i don't like the taste of flax.

    I add the equivalent amount of olive oil to my shakes.

    When i use flax i do the same.

    I've knocked back a tbsp of that shit(flax) a couple time...and it never sits well

    I have discovered that taking it with milk really helps.


    I now take a nice gulp of milk then take a deep breath and take my flax once it's in the mouth i add the milk to wash it down. haha imma pussy.

    Whey protein shake is the best way.

    Spoon sounds like the way to go. I remember years ago I had udo's and I tried to put it in my shake but buy the time I would finish the shake the oil would be back up top.
    How much udo's does one need to take aday?
