"Mixture" Flax Meal, Wheat Germ, Wheat Bran

I love to try and find ways to sneak in extra nutrition into our diet. I have a "mixture" on hand all the time that I pretty much put into anything (bread, pizza, cookies, cereal, snacks, etc)!

The mixtures is equal parts of:
I just put all 3 of these things in a large bowl or bag and mix them together, then have them in a big jar beside my flour on the counter so they are handy to add when Im cooking. Use about 1 tblspoon in your oatmeal in the morning (my kids have never noticed its there!) and then add a cup or two when you bake a couple loafs of bread...I usually add about 1/2 cup to my pizza dough recipe.

Ive thrown in extra stuff before into the "mixture" such as sunflower seeds, whole flax, and oatmeal...but the flax meal, wheat germ and wheat bran are the constants that I try to keep all together for some extra fiber and nutrients.
