Pro Tips
• Whisk Dry First: To prevent clumps and ensure a silky smooth texture, always whisk the flaxseed meal, coconut flour, and protein powder together in a dry bowl before adding liquid.
• Control the Thickness: If your porridge becomes too thick, simply stir in more almond milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the perfect consistency.
• Toast for Flavor: For a deeper, nuttier flavor, briefly toast the flaxseed meal in the dry saucepan for 30-60 seconds over medium heat before adding the other .
• Boost the Fats: To increase the fat content for keto macros, stir in a teaspoon of MCT oil, coconut oil, or your favorite nut butter after cooking.
