Hi Laura, welcome to the forum!

While I don't care for linseeds (called flax seeds overseas) myself, a lot of folk love them. You can buy linseeds in supermarkets or health food shops. If they are not ready ground, you can grind them in a coffee grinder.

This is the recipe I was given:
Take 3 tablespoons ground linseeds, add 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon Splenda (or to taste). Add about 150 mL very hot, not quite boiling water. Then add about 50 mL cream. I also tried it with the boiling water, cream and Cottees chocolate diet topping. Still didn't care for it.

Make sure you store the ground linseeds in the fridge.

I occasionally use Country Life "Alpha Life" low carb bread. It's available in some supermarkets and health food shops. After subtracting fibre, it has 5.1g carbs per slice.

Check out the recipe forum here Laura. You'll find lots of breakfast ideas.

Cheers, matey.
