Flax Note

The original recipe for this blueberry blast smoothie contained 1/2 cup flaxseed, or 1/4 cup per serving. Since this amount of flax can cause digestive upset for many who don’t regularly consume lots of flaxseed (and some are concerned regarding studies of high flax consumption), I reduced the amount to a more standard serving size. Note that you can also substitute the flaxseeds with chia seeds, which are also high in omega 3’s plus calcium.
