Best way to take 'oil'?

I'm supposed to be taking flax seed oil as it is really good for you, but I really don't like the taste!

Any ideas on how I could take it by not having to use a spoon!

Already thought of using it in salad dressing, but wonder if there's a way to kinda make your own capsules :/

Do you eat cereal Azz?
It would be more palatable with that.

Good idea Mags... but I don't unfortunately :-/

I can only have bland cereals (like puffed rice or wheat) hence don't bother with them.. but then I suppose I could add some apples or other fruit to it.

You can get flax seed oil in capsules. It's loaded with Omega 3, good for you.

I was going to suggest capsules too.
Or maybe just eat 'lin-seeds' - you could sprinkle them on your cereal or in soups

Try adding flax seed oil to a small drop of fruit juice, yoghurt or ice cream...... if you're allowed those on your detox.

Are you allowed organic puffed rice with honey, Azz?

Re: Best way to take 'oil'?

Thanks for the ideas guys

capsules - not keen on them because they don't contain enough, I have two dessert spoons a day! I think that would equal 4 capsules so it would work out quite expensive - and I wouldn't be sure on the quality, the flax seed oil I get is organic.

That puffed rice contains sugar so I would steer clear of it - but thanks for the link Mags!

I get lin-seeds too - but when you eat them whole you get get the benefit of the oil so much (so need both really).
