Notes
Nutrition For Mental Health
One tablespoon of flaxseed contains 1.9 grams of protein, 4.3 grams of fat, and 3 grams of carbohydrates (2.8g fiber). Flax seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)) and also contain omega-6 fatty acids. They are one of the richest dietary sources of ALA. Flax seeds are also a good source of thiamine, copper, magnesium, molybdenum, and phosphorus. A meta-analysis found that supplementing with 2 grams of ALA per day can significantly improve anxiety symptoms. Storage Tips
This great chia and flax pudding can be made ahead and kept in your fridge for up to 5 days. You can make all you need for each weekday morning on a Sunday night. But if you start feeling like you want to have something else for breakfast, take your airtight containers of chia and flaxseed pudding and put them in the freezer. They’re good in there for up to 3 months, and you can just thaw each one out in the fridge overnight to have it waiting for you when you wake up.
