flax seed

As you may have noticed, I use flax seed in pretty much all my smoothies, unless I forget to put it in. Flax seed has many health benefits as some evidence has shown flax seeds to reduce your risk of heart attack, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.

I buy my flax seed whole and ground it in our blender.  You gain more benefit from using ground flax seed because your body can better digest the ground flax seed.  Whole flax seed may pass through your body undigested.

You can add flax seed to pretty much anything.  I ground it up and put it in my daughter's mac and cheese. :)
