I got some from sainsburys, in the cake decoration and "free from" aisle. Its called go healthy cold-milled flaxseed by a company called virginna harvet. 1g per 100g!

 

[Jim]

That's right love, the freaks, geeks and weirdo's aisle.

 

[cherl889]

I think thats what they should call it. I dont know, who thought of free from range. For us thats a huge part of the shop!

Prewetts Cheryl x

I made a chocolate one yesterday. I put a teaspoon of drinking chocolate in, cooked as normal, sliced and buttered. Was a nice choccy treat

Would have prefered more chocolate in there but it's well carby!!!

I make the rich chocolate MIM with pure cocoa powder and granulated sweetener. Unsweetened cocoa counts as a spice. I use one egg per two MIMs and add extra water and a bit of cream to improve the texture. It comes out more like a cake.

On this way of eating we need NEVER feel deprived lol.

I am mad about the rich chocolate MIM! I mix cream cheese, usually philadelphia original, with granulated or liquid sweetener and a bit of vanilla flavouring. OMG what bliss. Use as 'frosting' on top or in the middle, or both!

Have been shopping that aisle for years because my little uns have allergies, it's usually the most quiet bit of the shop. For us, it's the chocolate and custard isle

[Jim]

Not sure, but I think so Vicky.

 

[LVLLM]
