Oatmeal with flax and a handful of dried apples, a couple small tangerines, and tea
Flax seeds are a good source of Omega-3 fats. I periodically grind a cupful or two in my blender and keep them in the refrigerator so they won't go rancid. (I think they're almost impossible to digest unless you grind them first. Maybe cooking them in something would make them more digestible too, but I haven't investigated that. I think it's easier to just keep a small amount on hand for adding to oats, muesli, rice, pasta, or whatever.)Oatmeal with flax and a handful of dried apples, a couple small tangerines, and tea
I so agree! I actually dislike slow cookers for anything plant based--use the Instant Pot instead. I especially like chickpeas done very softGarbanzo beans, with some of the spinach/rice pilaf I made on the side. (DRAT. I honestly thought the garbanzo beans I cooked in my slow-cooker were done... but they're just a little bit too... not "crunchy", exactly, but they probably would have been better if I'd cooked them an hour longer. I had soaked them overnight before cooking, and the cooker was on the "high" setting, too!)
Garbanzos probably take longer to cook than any other bean I know (other than dry soybeans, maybe).
Yes, they pass right on through if not ground first. Pretty hard to chew them that well!Flax seeds are a good source of Omega-3 fats.
