Blendtec Flax Meal

Flax meal is healthy.

Flax meal is easy to make in your Blendtec.

(I assume any other high-end blender would work similarly.)

Fill to just about covering the blades with Flax Seed.

(I prefer Golden Flax Seed. And buy it in bulk from Wheat Monatana 

when I do a large group order annually from the warehouse.)

Turn on blender Speed 1 to 3. Let run full cycle.

 If you still see whole seeds.

 Run a second time.

Store in your refrigerator until using.

I like to have a pint-sized mason jar full, ready to use. 

It takes several batches to fill the jar, but that way it doesn't heat up 

while grinding/blending for a long period of time.

Cheese Filled Trim Healthy Mama Chocolate Muffins

Last year I read Trim Healthy Mama (THM) and have been loosely following the plan.

One of the best recipes we've tried from the book is the Chocolate Muffin In a Mug (MIM).

(You need to buy the book to get the recipe. Sorry.)

Most of the time instead of nuking in a mug. I use cupcake papers and bake in the oven. 

One MIM equals two muffins in standard cupcake papers.

I don't know if it is because of high altitude, 

but adding 1 Tbsp of water per "muffin recipe" seems to help.

I bake at 350°F for 18 minutes.

Last week I saw a black-bottom muffin recipe over at Paratus Familia and 

decided to come up with something close, that was also more THM friendly. 

I did not run any nutrition data. 

These would definitely be an "S."

Make a triple batch of chocolate MIM

Fill cupcake papers a little more than half full. 

Mix Cheese filling and put about 1 Tbsp on top of each muffin:

1/2-1 egg

3 oz cream cheese

1 Tbsp Truvia or equivalent

Could also sprinkle some chocolate chips on top.

Will make at least 6 muffins.

Bake at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes.

Oh, I'm down 20 lbs. and Mr. Wonderful has lost 35 lbs. 

And yes, we eat chocolate muffins, skinny chocolate, Cottage Berry Whip, eggs for breakfast. 

You really should get the book if you want to loose weight in a healthy way.
