Post what you mix your flax oil in

[Madd Hatter]

Well, as we all know, flax oil is the worst tasting shit on this planet, and smells only slightly better. I know from experience taking it plain isn't good, neither is mixing it with: cottage cheese, apple sauce, or pudding.

Mixing it with a protein shake does make the shake taste crappy, but it's much more downable. The best I've found is mixing it in with my oatmeal/one scoop of choc. protein mix. What allows you to stomach this crap?

And a question: If I mixed 2 tbsp into my gainer shake in the morning and drank it through the middle hours of my day, would this be ok?

This would be fine. I have tried it plain... BIG mistake! I can only take it with a protein shake of some sort myself.

I just put it in a spoon and follow it w/ some milk or juice. Doesn't taste bad to me.... Fish oil on the other hand... oooooooooooooooh that's bad.

you won't even taste your flax seed oil !

 

[=w=]

I take my flax and fish oil directly out of the spoon - true it tastes like shit but it only lasts 1 second that way, whereas if you mix it with something you may not taste the oil as much but it does tarnish the good taste of your food also.

Yum! Is it time for my flax?

I wonder if your using the flax oil in hot oatmeal destroys the flax oil's healthy properties?

The worst is when I am doing a CKD diet. I mix 4 tsp. of flax oil, 4 tsp. of olive oil, 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder and 8 oz. of cold water. It's like drinking greasy, chocolate flavored water... YUCK!!

I've tried it several other ways. Plain, mixed in my MRP and in muffins.

Plain is bad but I just chase it with some diet coke. As mentioned above, if you dont hauck it back up as it's going down, it's not too bad. In an MRP I can't even taste it any more.

The muffin thing is a bit of a trick. As you may know you can't cook with flax oil as it ruins it. The muffins are made with whole flax seeds. I have also spinkled the flax seeds on my oatmeal and on my breakfast cereal.

All you need to do with flax to kill the taste is dump some sugar free KOOL AID in there. I also put in protein powder. It will change the color of the drink and you will hardly able to taste the flax.

I meant to put the KOOL AID powder straight from the packet into the blender. You dont need to make KOOL AID first just dump the KOOL AID powder into the shake and the KOOL AID flavor will take over the drink as long as you put enough in.

I have to ask, are you all a bunch of women? I've never heard so much bitching before. If it works, it doesn't matter what it taste like. I take 3 tablespoons a day. Quit being such wimps.

I drink UDO's by the tbspn. Tastes like shit, but you gotta do what you gotta do - and I wouldn't want to keep the oil out of the fridge/bottle for too long because it looses its properties if exposed to heat (from blending) and oxygen.
