One of the things I was concerned about when starting to eat lower carb was decreased fibre intake.

It’s easy to get in enough fibre when you’re eating whole grains, but when you take out whole grains and opt for eating lower carb, sometimes fibre can be lacking.

However, I have found easy ways to add more fibre into my diet, and sometimes that involves flax!

Flaxseed is a wonderful source of fibre, not to mention it’s other benefits:

• High in fibre but low in carbs
• High in Omega-3 fatty acids
• Helps make skin and hair healthy
• Helps lower cholesterol
• High in antioxidants
• Supports digestive health
• Helps decrease menopausal and hormonal imbalance symptoms

I use this flax bread for anything…

1. Toast
2. Sandwiches
3. Croutons

You can also top it with anything, my favourite being butter, smashed avocado, or sunflower seed butter.

It takes just a couple of minutes to put it together, then put it in your oven and let it bake. You’ll end up with a delicious and moist flax bread you can use in place of regular bread.
