Can I eat this as a main meal, or is it only a side dish?

The product is described as a simple whole-grain breakfast or side dish. It is substantial enough to eat on its own, especially in the morning, but it is not meant to replace a whole balanced meal by itself. To turn it into a fuller lunch or dinner, serve it with a protein source such as eggs, fish, legumes, or tofu, and add fresh or cooked vegetables on the side.

Because the mix already contains flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, and dried vegetables, it does not need much seasoning. A spoonful of olive oil or a small piece of butter is enough to round it out. You can also fold in fresh herbs, a spoonful of yoghurt, or a squeeze of lemon after cooking, though these are optional and will change the flavour.

If you are increasing fibre-rich foods, introduce them gradually and drink enough water, especially if seeds are not yet a regular part of your menu. This is simply a practical tip for adapting to a higher-fibre food; the product itself is a food and should be used as part of a varied diet.
