Very good with fresh blueberries, probably not as good with frozen. My 16 yr old son liked it.  One more way to get flax and nuts in a snack.

Hello, I was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes.  Is this breakfast good for someone like me who is trying to reverse this condition?  I'm concerned about eating a banana because they are so sweet.  Thank you.

I've also been diagnosed with pre-diabetes a few months ago.  I've been eating Dr. Fuhrman (yes even up to  1 banana a day) since then and lost 25 lbs so far.  I'm confident that my pre-diabetes has already reversed but  I won't know for sure until my next test.  I hope to update you with the good news in a few months.

Very good.  I use 1/3 cup almond milk instead of 1/4 cup.

I had this today for the first time and thought it was pretty bad. Not sure what I could have messed up. It just tasted like all seeds and the berries had no flavor. I followed the recipe exactly and had such high hopes for this. Also, someone should change the picture on this because it doesn't really look appealing.

If you're tasting the seeds, you've got too much chia seed or too much ground flaxseed.  I've always understood the recipe to be 1 teaspoon of ground flaxseed or Chia seeds, not 1 tablespoon so I think the recipe is wrong. The Chia seeds will soak up the liquid and create more of a gelatin if you have too much. It's great if you want more of a pudding texture, and there are meals, which will include that, but not this one. And a  tablespoon of ground flaxseed in my opinion is way too much. Also the picture does need to be updated because it includes oatmeal which recipe doesn't have.
