Flaxseed oil in your smoothie???
YES!!
It is an awesome healthy addition to your smoothie!
Flaxseed Oil is nature's richest source of alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), an omega-3 essential fatty acid your body naturally converts to EPA and DHA - the same fatty acids in fish oil that support heart health, reduce inflammation and improve cellular integrity.
Dr. Oz recommends you add some high quality flaxseed oil to your smoothie.
Doctor Oz included Flaxseed Oil in the ingredients for the Quick Magical Breakfast Blaster Smoothie that he talked about on Oprah.
Flaxseed Oil is SO good for you and it does not affect the great taste of the smoothie at all.
If you are looking for a good place to get flaxseed oil to add to your smoothies, you can get the best prices at Amazon.com.
Barlean's brand is my favorite. I love it!

Is there a difference between flax seed oil and flax seeds?
flax seed oil is hard to get and expensive.
Hi Janet-
Great question!
To learn about the difference between flax seed oil and flax seed there is an excellent article at http://www.askdrsears.com/html/4/T041700.asp
If you are going to use flax seeds – you want to
a) keep them refrigerated at all times and
b) grind them up just before you add them to your smoothies (a coffee bean grinder works great for flax seeds)
To your best health!
