Hi Patty,

I don't think flax and hemp seeds get grinded up when blended with all the other ingredients. If you have a high speed blender you can blend the seeds up first... as long as the blender is dry. Then add your other ingredients!

Or,grind ahead of time and store in the fridge in a glass jar, with a black plastic bag around it. You can also use a coffee grinder!

I know they're expensive but if your budget allows, Vitamix is a great investment...grinds everything to a pulp, individually or combined. I make both flax and almond milk all the time, along with green smoothies and the like.
