FLAX SEED BREAD

• gluten free, low carb, keto, great source of fiber

Flax seeds provide protein, fiber and omega 3 fatty acids. It is said that they help in lowering blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Flax seeds also help to improve digestive health and relieve constipation. I found them to be very good for my keto diet. So I tried making bread with golden flax seed meal.

Since I am on intermittent fasting and keto diet, I did have problems with constipation. After much research, I included some good probiotics, digestive enzymes and good source of fiber to help regularize my digestive system.

This delicious flax seed bread satisfies my craving to eat bread and also it helps me to get fiber in my diet. It is excellent in regulating the digestive system.

This is a very simple but tasty recipe.
