Almond and Flaxseed Porridge with Smashed Berries

Flaxseeds are a great source of lignans, which are phytoestrogens. And because they’re full of soluble fibre, they can also help regulate blood sugar and insulin levels.

Taken from my book ‘Eat Right, Lose Weight’ which helps you discover your metabolic type.
