Recipe Info

Tip: Mix dry flax and the hot cereal in self-seal plastic bags and take it when travelling. The cereal can be cooked in the microwave in your hotel room. Another option is to order juice and/or coffee/tea and/or an egg at the restaurant and ask the server to heat the cereal and water in a bowl in their microwave. Most restaurants are very accommodating if you order some items off the menu.

Shelley Case's High-Fiber Hot Cereal

from Gluten Free Diet, page 173

This quick, heart-healthy breakfast is packed with fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Add a spoonful of brown sugar, chopped nuts and/or dried apricots or raisins for more flavor and extra nutrients.

• 3 tbsp. Flax Seed Meal (Ground Flax)*
• 3 tbsp. Cream of Brown Rice Hot Cereal
• 1 1/3 cup water
• dash of vanilla

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a medium to large glass bowl.

Cook on high in a microwave for 3-4 minutes, or until thick and creamy.

Stir in vanilla.

Serve with brown sugar, nuts, and/or dried fruits.

* As flax is very high in fiber, it is important to gradually introduce it in small portions until tolerated. Start with 5 tbsp. hot cereal and 1-3 tsp. of ground flax initially and then gradually work up to 3 tbsp. flax and 3 tbsp. hot cereal. See page 105 of the book for fiber tips.

Yield: 1 cup (1 serving)
