You’ve probably heard about these in the news and maybe sprinkled in your bread that you’ve bought from the store. The good news on these is that they are powered packed with goodness. They have Omega 3 oils (the good kind of oils) to help combat all sorts of health issues. This same oil is found in salmon, olive oil and algae. The good thing about flax is that it is really inexpensive and anyone can eat it… vegetarian or not. For vegetarians, flax is, literally, essential because we aren’t getting the Omega 3 oils from fish.

RECIPE:
1/4 c. raw almonds, cashews, or Brazil nuts
2-3 c water (depending on how thick you would like your smoothie)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vanilla
2-3 tbsp whole flax seeds
1 frozen banana
1/4 c. frozen strawberries
optional: 1 tbsp carob powder, 1 tbsp hemp seeds, 2-3 leaves of chard or kale leaves

Throw everything into your blender (Vitamix, the best and most rockin' blender! I highly recommend investing in this!) and blend. Enjoy soon after you make it. Flax will thicken liquid quickly, so your shake will thicken the longer it sits. I take this in a jar with a lid with me in the mornings, if I don't have time to drink it before I leave.
