While flaxseeds help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol and support cardiovascular health, no single food can instantly reverse arterial plaque build-up or clear arteries on its own.
Flaxseed ground releases its nutrients best, making it an easy add-in for daily meals. Here is a simple, heart-healthy low-carb pudding recipe featuring ground flaxseed and chia seeds.
Heart-Healthy Flax & Chia Pudding
Ingredients
* 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
* 2 tbsp chia seeds
* 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
* Liquid stevia or erythritol to taste
* Optional: A handful of fresh berries or crushed walnuts for serving
Instructions
* Mix: In a jar or small bowl, combine ground flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, and your choice of low-carb sweetener.
* Whisk: Pour in the almond milk and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to ensure no seed clumps remain.
* Set: Let sit for 5 minutes, give it another stir, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until thick and gelatinous.
* Serve: Top with a few fresh berries or nuts before serving.
