Berry Berry Good Karma Bowl
This delicious breakfast bowl makes it easy to get your daily 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds which provide the healthiest source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, flaxseeds provide the highest content of lignans, phytonutrients which seem to help in both breast cancer prevention and survival (see Breast Cancer Survival and Lignan Intake), of any food, and are a great source of iron, zinc, copper, calcium, protein, potassium, magnesium, folate, soluble fiber (which can lower cholesterol and triglycerides), and boron (a trace mineral key for optimum bone health). Just the Flax, Ma'am
