FLAXSEED SMOOTHIE

You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.

1 medium banana or fruit of choice
1/4 cups yogurt or tofu
1 to 2 tablespoons concentrated fruit juice
1/4 teaspoons vanilla
1/3 cups soy milk
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal

Dash cinnamon or mace. Blend all together until creamy smooth.

Extensive research at the Mayo Clinic and elsewhere proves that flax is the richest plant source of inflammation-soothing omega-3 fatty acids. Flax is nature's number 1 source of lignans, unique plant compound that can double the speed at which the liver metabolizes and excretes inflammation- triggering fat and toxins. The study- proven dose : 1 to 2 Tbs. of ground flax daily.

Flaxseed contains approximately 40 - 60% of the omega-3 essential fatty acid known as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA): 15 - 20% of the omega-6 essential fatty acid, linoleic acid; and varying amounts of the lignan, secoisolariciresinol diglycoside (SDG), or more commonly known as phytoestrogens.
