Notes
flax seeds are a great addition because they will mimic the strawberry seeds. Kids will expect the texture of the seeds anyway, so you can almost trick them into eating the fall because they won't even notice!
Lecithin is optional, but make the texture so much better. it had nutritional benefits too. If you're concerned about buying a whole container, remember that it is a great addition to homemade bread to make it softer. It's especially useful for fresh milled flour recipes.
If you've got some protein powder on hand, why not throw in a scoop?
