This jelly should be consumed as light snacks, in order to satisfy hunger between main meals. The recipe for the drink is simple: boil liquid berry jelly and, when it is still boiling, throw flax seeds into it per 200 ml of 1 tsp. dry seeds. As the drink cools, the seeds will swell, the jelly will become thick and easily satisfy hunger.
