Snack

I have been making

2 tbs oil, coconut, or safflower, or non toasted sesame. (Coconut oil is best)
1/2 tsp hot sauce (optional)
One scoop MRM veggie protein, (no artificial sweeteners in it) (either flavor, but I prefer vanilla)
One scoop wheat grass powder
3 tbs psyllium husk (pure no added stuff)
3 tbs freshly ground flax seed (grind in coffee grinder right before use)
Sprinkle some black salt to taste (lowers blood pressure)
I add some ground dried mushrooms, they help boost your immune system.

Now that you have this healthy mix, you can put it in a hand hammered well seasoned wok and lightly toast it, you can use non stick pan, but most of them have bad things in them. The oil makes the wok work perfectly for this. Stir constantly and don't over toast, just toast on a high heat till you have gotten the oil mixed into it well. 

It's a little grainy tasting, and the psyllium husk make it a little sticky, don't over toast or over cook or you will loose a lot of nutrients. But I like it better then drinking the psyllium husk which become like slimy gruel. This mix swells so you feel full, and you eat it very slowly because if the way it is. If you try to rush it you could choke, make sure you have water handy, cause of the stickiness, and make sure you chew and swallow a little at a time. Drink a lot of water with it (better yet lemon water sweetened with Stevia in the raw) I swear it taste good. LOL. 

It you over cook it you can kill the nutrients, so here is a photo if it just right, you don't want too loose the green color, if it starts to turn brown you have over cooked it. It will have a few lumps in it from the oil but you smash them as best you can so they mix in, a few will stay that's ok. 

Two reasons for toasting, 1 is that it taste much better. 2 is it stabilizes the flax seed, flax seed likes to go bad very quickly after being ground. An hour after grinding and it's not good for you. But if you want to take this with you for lunch or snacking, toasting will help slow that down. I put mine in those little twist off tops of BPH free plastic containers. Let it cool before putting the lid on, then put it in the fridge,  keep it cool if possible. 

Also because of the flax seed do not make more than you will use the next day, you can mix all the dry stuff together for quick toasting, but the flax needs of be as fresh as possible. It takes no longer than making supper at night. It's for your health and you are worth it.
