Easy Flax Breakfast Pudding


This "pudding" can be put together in the microwave in 3-4 minutes. You can add berries or other "mix-ins" - see suggestions below. The flax gives it lots of fiber and good fat, plus a nice nutty flavor.
Ingredients:

    * 1/4 cup flax seed meal
    * 1/4 cup water (some of the liquid can be sugar-free syrup, if desired)
    * 1 egg
    * Sugar substitute to taste
    * Mixins as desired (see below)

Preparation:
Mix flax meal, egg, and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds. Move the cooked part of the pudding towards the center of the bowl and add any mix-ins you want. Microwave for about 45-60 more seconds, depending on mix-ins (frozen fruit will need even longer cooking, as it will cool down the pudding). Stir and eat.

Possible Additions:

    * Fresh or frozen berries or other fruit (Low Carb Fruit List)
    * Unsweetened coconut
    * Peanut butter or other nut butters
    * Small cubes of cream cheese (any fat level)
    * Sugar-free maple or other syrup
    * Sugar-free jam or preserves
    * Chopped nuts

Nutritional Information: Each serving has 1 gram effective carbohydrate plus 9 grams fiber, 12 grams protein, and 243 calories.
