Flax in smoothies

Zoe

I’ve been putting 1-2 tbsp of flaxseeds in my green smoothies. Is this enough for my full daily dose of omegas or should it be more…or less?

In Cousens book he suggests at LEAST 2 tbsp. daily. I was just reading Conscious Eating last night and came across the info….

I find that too many tablespoons of flax in a smoothie ends up making it more like a pudding!! Also, you should be grinding your seeds or using milled flax for best absorption.

It’s great to grind them to get all the nutrients, but having some whole ones are great too, because they act like a stiff broom to sweep out your colon.

they get ground up in the blender, I can’t ever see a whole or even part of a seed in my green slush.

thanks guys ;)
