Why not just take it in your morning protein shake? Blend it up.

Yeah, I know alot of people that do this. But I can't even bring myself to try it. Too many bad experiences of flax ruining my favorite foods.

I don't understand if maybe you are getting a bad batch of flax... or what. I really don't taste anything. I can even drink it plain.....

Best way, by far if you hate the taste, is to blend it with your shake. Don't eat it with food, don't mix it in food... Just drink it. My fav shake includes: 1 scoop muscle milk, 2 scoop gainer 600 from all the whey, the milk from 1 young cocnut, and some flax oil.

Another good thing to do is NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT! You are phreaking yourself out before you even drink it. That leads to disgust and resentment. Plug your nose, sniff a carton of ice cream while you drink it, whatever you have to do. Just think about how good it is for you!!

Not sure if maybe you are getting real flax Korvin, because any ive tried all taste very pugnant. Nothing unbearable( not for me anyways) but not very pleasant. I tried the gel caps once, and i seem to recall having to take like 10-15 a day or something close to that.

I always found if something tastes so gross that i can barely stand it, the best way is straight down the hatch with a chaser. Why 'taint' anything you like with something you dont. I personally never really mind it in my shakes.

it taste kinda nutty. Why not just take it straight with a spoon then wash it down with some water...

**the big lebowski** · 04-22-2007, 10:07 PM

ya suck it up and just take it down and chase with water, ur not consuming it for the flavor

**nyjetsfan86** · 04-22-2007, 10:13 PM

Down it like a shot... and chase it with water.

I have to say hands down the best way for me to take it is in my protien shakes. (Vanilla whey, ripe banana, sprinkle cinnamon, 15ml flax seed oil, 500ml skimmed milk, it's the dog's bollocks.)

If you blend for a good 30 secs the flax oil goes into an ultra-fine emulsion and just gives the shake the most amazing cream like smoothness and I can't taste a thing. I use GranoVita brand, never even considered that taste might be a problem for people.
