Date: February 05, 2009 12:51PM Hope so -- I add a couple of tablespoons to my green smoothie every morning. I make mine with kale and whatever fruit I have on hand (oranges, tangerines and apples right now). I grind the seeds first. Re: Is it wise to add flax seed to a green smoothie?

Date: February 05, 2009 12:55PM Try blending Flax Seeds with Water before
adding the other ingredients. As far as combining goes, I'd say they go best with Greens.........WY Re: Is it wise to add flax seed to a green smoothie?

Date: February 08, 2009 10:51AM I don't see why it would be a problem. Adding 1 tbsp of ground flax to a smoothie of orange, banana, and a cup of kale takes you from 1 to 4 g of fat, from 5% to 15% fat. It's still very low fat to me. Re: Is it wise to add flax seed to a green smoothie?

I sometimes add a little fat to my Green Smoothie, but it's best to go 'no-fat' for the best Cleansing Diet....WY Re: Is it wise to add flax seed to a green smoothie?

Date: February 08, 2009 04:08PM It's best to be sure that your intake of omega3 is adequate. Since vegans don't eat fatty fish they do well to get a little bit extra, such as 1-2 additional grams which total to a whopping 9-18 calories. Re: Is it wise to add flax seed to a green smoothie?

Date: February 08, 2009 05:40PM I add unground flax seeds to warm green smoothies without fruit (soups), I think it makes it more satisfying and filling. Re: Is it wise to add flax seed to a green smoothie?

Date: February 09, 2009 03:41AM What if I'm eating coconut oil and avocado? Don't I need to add some omega-3 to balance that out? Re: Is it wise to add flax seed to a green smoothie?

Avocado is neutral, it should not make a difference in your conversion rate. But too much coconut can be a hindrance, it can also clog your arteries. Generally you need to balance o3 with o6. High sources of o6 are pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, most refined vegetable oils, etc. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
