Why add Sprouted Organic Flax Powder to your diet – and our new favourite Smoothie Recipe!

Today is ThrowBackThursday & we will revisit a previous Sprouted Organic Flax Powder post from the past year and it is also Day 4 of Sunningdale Mills Organic Week feature recipes. Our Organic Sprouted Flax Powder is free from any added preservatives and carefully ground through a process that does not generate any heat thereby not interfering with any of our sprouted flax powder’s nutritional and health benefits.

Flax seeds are considered a whole grain. Our Organic Sprouted Flax Powder is optimally sprouted as a seed to unlock the enzymes and nutrients to make them more bioavailable for our bodies to absorb. To gain the most nutritional benefit from flaxseeds they must be ground, breaking down the tough outer shell that will not break down during the digestive process and pass through your gut intact.

The top 5 Benefits to adding Organic Sprouted Flax Powder to your diet:

• Improve your digestive health

• Reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol

• Help control your blood pressure

• A source of Omega 3 fatty acids

• A good source of fibre

The recommended serving is 2 tablespoons daily for maximum nutritional benefits, and here are some suggestions on using our Organic Sprouted Flax Powder:

• As an egg replacement – 1 tbsp. of Flax powder plus 3 tbsp. of water for one whole egg

• Sprinkle on your yogurt or cereal

• Add as a replacement for shortening your favourite muffin, bread or cookie recipe – substitute 3 parts Flax powder for every part of shortening or oil

• Add to your water as part of your daily fluid intake

• Start your day by adding to your favourite breakfast smoothie
