My recipe might offend some, but I find it a low calorie, high fiber way to start the day--8 oz milk, one scoop slim fast (or any meal substitute powder), two tbsp cocoa, one tbsp instant coffee, two tbsp ground flax, two caps cinnamon (ground), one tbsp bulk fiber (generic works), a scoop of ice (probably about 8 oz), and enough water drizzled in to let the blender make a smooth mix. Usually I wind up with about 32 oz, and of course some of it is air from the blender. The grinder which can be cleaned by "grinding" a piece of bread in it, costs about $10. I bought mine maybe five years ago, and it's as good as new. The fancier ones don't seem to last.

You can grind a few days' worth and store the powder in the freezer.

I eat hot oat bran cereal with a tablespoon of ground flax seeds daily, but wondered if they would be more effective in juice form.

You need to pulverize them into a chunky powder. You could also try a small food processor or a mortar and pestle. Alex Blenders might work if you pulse the flax seeds.
