Flaxseed Oil.....Bleeeeeeeech!!

[kjluvi]

Are there any good suggestions for taking a TBSp of this stuff other than strait from the bottle? It is bad enough alone, but I dont want it to kill the taste of my tuna or chicken.

Toss the flax and get some Udo's. After punishing myself for 2 wks I finally finished my bottle of flax and instead of repurchasing... I got some Udo's. Udo's has a better ratio of omegas and doesn't taste 1/2 as bad as straight flax. Give it a try

Udos?


Can't throw out the Flax right now considering I just spent $15 on a Month's supply.

flax actually tases nice when mixed with a protein shake. just dont do it post workout, on non workout days fine

i used to mix it with a little milk then down it. but now i dont really care so much. you'll get used to it

 

[ZKaudio]

agreed. flax + whey isn't half bad... especially when you're used to taking straight fish oil ... YUCK...

I never was able to understand you Flaxseed haters

Put it in a shake. Unless of course you're on a CKD. Then just swallow the tablespoon and drink some Diet Snapple. Water seems to prolong the aftertaste.

 

[ZKaudio]

yumm... whatever you do, dont try cooking with flax!! lol

what are Udos anyways?

I love flax oil. I discovered something really cool with it. Take a tablespoon of it, while the taste is still in your mouth go outside and take a deep breath. Tastes like watermelon or cuccumbers. I shit you not. Just something I discovered after doing it every morning before work.

grind seeds and put it in your shake ,much better

A buddy of mine just ate the seeds. What I'm wondering is if you get the same concetration of oil. My thought is that you'd have to eat a shitload of seeds to get the same amount of oil in 1tbsp.

 

[killa in manila]

if you just eat the seeds without grinding them they will go undigested ,you have to grind them
the oil only has 40% of what the seed contains(nutrients)
grind 2tbsp daily of the seeds ,grind enough for that one serving
only cause they go rancid fast.

Here's what you do. Take a cup of water, 2 scoups of no/low-carb protien powder, and a dash of Crystal Lite. Mix all that together and slam it. Tastes ok, and it's a great way to get 300-500 calories on a keto diet.

I tried taking flax with some water as a chaser. I barfed all over the kitchen. lol Lesson learned.

 

[kjluvi]

I found a good meathod for taking my flax. Take the TBsp then immediatly take a shot of whipped cream (very low carbs). It will kill the taste of the flax in your mouth.

Whatever you do don't use flax as the "oil" and vinegar in a salad. Yuck! You'll end up throwing out the salad.

what are Udos anyways?

Udo's Ultimate Oil Blend is exactly that. It's a blend of flax,sesame, sunflower,and evening primrose oil. It's also got some oils from rice and oat germ. I find it has a better EFA ratio than that of regular flax. I throw one tablespoon in each of my shakes during the day, can't taste it at all.
It kinda has a nutty taste so it's pretty good as a salad dressing too. Or sometimes if I make a pasta salad, I just throw a couple of tablespoons in there with a bunch of herbs and garlic.

 

[jerkbox]

can someone tell me where udo's can be purchased?...i haven't seen it on my main supplement sites....
