Drinking my smoothie right now. Ground flaxseed added as usual.:)

I am using a ground flaxseed which I always keep in my refrigerator. I use it in my smoothies. Since my smoothie is consist of a several fruits and veggies with Lactaid, it makes it so thick so I put just a roundful teaspoon of (ground) flaxseed.

I just thought of sharing this info -- my eye doctor prescribed Flaxseed cap and my rheumy prescribed Omega 3 both for my dry eyes. Even specialists acknowledge the benefits of Omega 3 and flaxseed. I never got the flaxseed as I was already taking the Omega 3 at the time though. I should add more flaxseed in my food.

Thank you so much!!!

The only thing the oil offers is MORE omega 3 concentrated than flaxseed per serving.

However, there are numerous benefits to taking flaxseed, so many more than taking just the oil.

Taking that into consideration, I take flaxseed, even though it has less omega 3 per serving.

Just thought I would share. :)

Have you ever seen a field of flax in bloom? It is the most beautiful sight one will ever see. :) We used to grow it when I was young. We harvested it and sold it to the local grain elevator. It is a tough crop to harvest. We also sold the straw. Flax is a good thing.
