I was taking it with water for a while, but the taste got old for me after a couple weeks. I have some ground flax seed meal in my freezer, but it doesn't seem to get "lost in my smoothie" during blending. I can always still see the little bits floating around and can feel them when I drink it. Maybe I need to blend a bit longer, huh? I bought some flax seed oil about a month or so ago but keep forgetting I have it, so I may start adding a bit of that to my smoothies. So, basically, I have a bunch of good stuff in my house that I haven't been putting to use lately. This post was a good reminder!

Personally, right now I'm using hemp protein powder and chia seeds in my green smoothies, and I've noticed a big difference in strength and endurance at the gym recently - I think the chia seeds really did it for me as I've been on the green smoothies with the hemp protein for a few months now.Prior to using chia seeds, I was using ground-up flax seeds, but really, in my case the chia seeds made the bigger difference. I still use flax seeds though in my dehydrator recipes. I would like to add the Vitamineral Green or Pure Synergy as well. About the maca, I was taking some bottled maca powder and really liked it and found that it totally cut sweet cravings for me, and then I bought some bulk maca powder from my coop and found that it didn't really seem to do that much, plus I got intestinal distress from it, so that turned me off for a good while. I just think I have to buy the better-quality stuff and stay away from the bulk maca. All good stuff!

I have been taking it daily as help in the pre-pregnancy department because it's a whole food and not a supplement or synthetic. :) When I'm not in pregnancy planning, and it's just ordinary ol' me, I really appreciate this stuff on days that I just didn't get enough greens or balance in, ya know? It's great for that. I also take it traveling when I can't have green smoothies. And...hemp...I'm crazy for hemp seeds, powder, oil, and butter. The stuff rocks my world!
