3. Gluten-Free Veggie Burgers
These burgers are way better than their frozen brethren and are safe for those avoiding gluten, too. The base is TVP, or textured vegetable protein, available in bulk at your local health store.
Dulse, a type of seaweed, provides flavor alongside horseradish and mustard, while flax gives everything bulk and holds it all together. Serve with your favorite fixings in a corn or rice tortilla. Check out the full recipe here.
4. Orange-Ginger Flax Smoothies
Adding flax to a smoothie is a great way to make it more filling and increase the omega-3 content. You can add flax to just about any smoothie you make, but we like the sound of this one. Frozen peaches provide the bulk of this smoothie and carrot and orange juices give it a vibrant color and plenty of nutrients.
Flax provides some extra goodness, while fresh ginger gives everything a satisfying zing. Check out the full recipe for orange-ginger flax smoothies to learn more.
5. Almond-Flax Encrusted Chicken
Love chicken cutlets? These are a great alternative and they’re packed with fiber and protein, not to mention omega-3 fatty acids. Almond meal and ground flax seeds provide the “breading” for thinly sliced chicken breast, which is baked to crispy goodness.
The tender chicken is also flavored with onion, lemon, and fresh herbs, packing this dish with tons of flavor and a melt in your mouth texture. Serve as chicken cutlets with a side of your choice, or slice and serve as part of a salad! Learn how to make it all here.
