You’ve probably heard about the benefits of incorporating flax into your daily diet, but you might not know that consuming flax seed can be injurious to your digestive tract. That’s why it’s important to use sprouted ground flaxseed powder, as it enables your digestive system to process it efficiently. This wonderful ingredient contains vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that help you stay fit and active.
In a blender, put 2 Tbsp. of Sprouted Ground Flaxseed Powder, 1/2 cup of organic plain Greek yogurt, 1 peeled banana, 1/2 cup of kale or spinach, 1 apple, and 1 cup of ice. Blend until smooth and drink immediately.
