Hi,
I thought I would include this recipe today as it the recommended daily amount of omega 3. Why, you may ask have I decided to choose this recipe? Well, strange as it may sound my five year old son has had some excess ear wax in his ear. I took him to the doctors and they say there is nothing wrong. However, apparently excess earwax can be related to low levels of omega 3. So as I have an intollerence to fish I thought that I would put this recipe here for others who may or may not have an ear wax problem to take advantage from! Plus hubby likes anything coffee flavoured, so it's a definate winner on those grounds alone, ha ha.
Mocha-ccino Freeze
From The Flax Cookbook by Elaine Magee, MPH, RD (Marlowe & Co.)
1 cup low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt, light vanilla ice cream or ice milk (nonfat or sugar-free brands can be substituted if desired)
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1/4 cup strong decaf coffee, chilled (use caffeinated if you prefer). To make double-strength coffee, brew twice the amount you want without increasing the water.
1 cup ice cubes
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
Add all ingredients to your blender or food processor
Blend on highest speed until smooth (about 10 seconds). Scrape sides of blender, and blend again for five more seconds.
Pour into two glasses and enjoy!
Yield: 2 smoothies.
