Love kombucha drink a glass a day. I've been drinking Health Aid lately.

 

[Stoner4Life]

Coffee with half&half. Rarely buy half&half, but picked up both the h&h and some whipping cream to make some fairly rich New England-style clam chowda'.

Coming up in the next day or two. 'Til then, I can justify using a bit of either one in coffee.. A rarity. Usually just drink it black.

toss that H&H onto some cereal for a treat

and I always have H&H for my coffee, always in the fridge, however being diabetic I never have cereal around for that treat

coconut water, so refreshing !

I gave up most boxed cereals about 7 years ago.

But a wee bit of maple syrup, and some half&half, some finely diced dried Turkish apricots, and maybe some walnut or pecan pieces, can dress up a bowl of 7-grain, 10-grain, steel cut oats, or even plain organic oatmeal pretty nicely.

The whole grain cereals, as you're probably aware in dealing with the diabetes, pack a considerable carbohydrate punch, but the processing of it takes longer, so it's not quite so overwhelming. Though regulating the amount of the other additives listed above has to figure into the carbs, too.

Per a serving of the 7 or 10-grain cereals, a teaspoon or so of maple syrup, one or two of the naturally-dried Turkish apricots, and 5 or 6 walnut halves (or the equivalent in pecan pieces) makes for one deluxe organic, not-too-overwhelming-for-the-glucose cereal.

But everyone's metabolism is different. and metabolism and metabolic sensitivities change over time, too. Sometimes day-to-day, even... depending on physical activity, medications, etc.

(ground) flaxseed's one of the few grains that won't elevate blood sugar.
i stir a couple of heaping tbsp's into coffee (16oz glass),
along with other mix-ins like cocoa, cinnamin, H and H, etc.,
for a filling breakfast/energy drink.
after you mix it all together, let it sit a few minutes to thicken up,
stirring occasionally.

Thanks.

We eat snack crackers that have a ground quinoa paste base, and incorporate a fair amount of flax seeds, among other items.

And yes, the carb count on them is notably lower, plus the added protein from the quinoa. But never thought about adding flax to a beverage for an energy drink. Good to know.

When our pups are having gastro-intestinal issues, we use about a tsp or less of ground psyllium powder in their chow to relieve the issues. It thickens like a nice gravy, as well as 'greasing the tracks' to get what ever things are causing discomfort in their digestive tracts.

From what I understand, humans can ingest the stuff, too.

Knob Creek on the rocks after a bowl of fastbuds auto gg4. I think there was more craft exercised on the Knob Creek.

Re-heated Costa Rican French roast from this morning, with a touch of half&half, a minor dash of maple syrup, and a shot-and-a-half of half-decent Canadian whiskey...

And.... more chores in a moment..

BRM Flax is a common staple in my house. Added it to my eggs this morning. Check out their website for a $1 off coupon.

here's my addition to either of your recipes, add one Tbsp per portion of powdered brewer's yeast. I add it to my air popped popcorn w/a bit of butter too, my heart & arteries were just checked, I'm good to go.

1cup of air popped corn has 30gms of carbs, my limit for a snack according to my doctor, the tbsp of yeast is another 5gms of carbs but the nutritional values of the yeast include:
It is made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a one-celled fungus. ... Brewer's yeast is also used as a nutritional supplement. It's a rich source of chromium, which may help your body maintain normal blood sugar levels. It is also a source of B vitamins. <<< sourced info from the net.

So the few extra gms of carbs are a benefit. I'll try both those recipes/suggestions & likely add some brewers yeast as well.

btw, brewers yeast has a slightly bitter taste to it as it sits plain, but like salt, pepper, clove or any other spices out there, once mixed into a recipe you'll notice it makes the other flavors pop, I'm certain that it would mingle very nicely w/the flaxseed.

I sprinkle it on my green leaf salads, like Romano or Parmesan cheese, a little vinaigrette, handful of croutons for my crunch, I am a happy camper.

it's like a health food store in a can.......

We never have any around, but I've had it on pop corn, and thought it improved the flavor, esp. with butter, though putting it on other items hasn't been done yet.

I'll try to remember to pick some up the next time I'm in the natural foods part of the grocery.

..... And.. the screen tells me I'm out of rep points to give...

Edit: I think I -did- have brewers yeast before in a protein shake!! But with yogurt, fruit, etc., I can't say for sure that it left any distinct memory of flavors, etc.

 

[Stoner4Life]

most brands have been debittiered (to some degree) w/o changing their nutritional value, but the yeast still has a distinct odor/flavor, gotta get passed that. I don't sit around noshing on onions but I wouldn't consider not including them in recipes. Same thing w/the brewers yeast.
