Tips & Notes
- Use ground flaxseed, as listed; whole seeds pass through most blenders intact. Keep ground flax in the refrigerator or freezer so it doesn't turn rancid.
- Drink it soon after blending. Ground flax absorbs liquid, and the smoothie turns thick and slightly gel-like as it sits.
- Flax has a nutty taste that goes well with banana, berries and the nut butter. Very tart fruit like pineapple can clash with it.
