This recipe is great for any side dish for lunch or dinner. It’s easy to make and it tastes great, maybe even the picky kids will love it too.

 I found this recipe from an Irish recipe book because my family and I love to try food from all around the world. It’s great to try new things!

Healthy choices at Starbucks for kids and adults!

 My kids love to get drinks from Starbucks and I used to let them get whatever they wanted and what they loved was the

Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino® Blended Crème  until I decided to check the Starbucks Nutrition Guide to see what they were actually drinking.

 I was horrified to know that I was allowing my kids to consume 510 Calories, 170 Fat Calories, 19(g) Total Fat , and 11(g) Saturated Fat !

For one drink that’s outrageous! When I saw that I said, "OK guys, you can only get the Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino® Blended Crème maybe once or twice a year."

They didn’t mind too much, they now get the Tazo® Black Shaken Iced Tea which is a much healthier choice and has only 80 Calories, 0 Fat Calories, 0 (g) Total Fat, and

0 (g) Saturated Fat. So that’s much better, don’t you think? 

I’ve compiled a list of 10 healthy Starbucks drinks all under 200 calories. Here’s to your healthy drink choices.

 Flax seed has many benefits including lowering total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (the Bad cholesterol) levels, and may also help to lower blood triglyceride and blood pressure.

 It also keeps platelets from becoming sticky which reduces the risk of a heart attack.

 Flax seed is also rich in lignan which is a type of antioxidant and it also provides fiber.

 Include flax seed in your diet by adding to your cereal and salads. You can also substitute flax seed oil for any other oil.
