How to make it

  • I only have a personal sized blender. I would use a real blender to make this if I had one. It's really up to you which one you use. If using a regular blender put the oat milk in in the beginning with the orange juice.
  • Throw this all into your blender of choice.
  • I add them in the order I have them listed in.
  • Blend until well blended and hopefully a thick liquid.
  • About 50 seconds.
  • If it needs more liquid to thin it out use a little more oat milk or orange juice.
  • You can divide this into two glasses and drink one for breakfast and then one for lunch. Or one for an after dinner snack one night and the other one the next night, again up to you.
  • You may want to soak the seeds in the oat milk overnight before adding the rest of your ingredients, remember to stir them up before adding everything else or they will stick to the top/bottom of the cup during blending and you will not get them mixed in. This is one reason I add the orange juice as the first item, it keeps the seeds from being on the very bottom.
  • Remember that flax seeds must be ground for our bodies to absorb all of the good stuff from them, otherwise they just go straight through.
  • Drink and enjoy all of the great benefits!
  • According to the internet women over 50 need at LEAST 48 g of protein per day!
  • According to my reading on the internet you need to take in most of your protein first thing in the morning. But again up to you weather you drink this in the morning or the evening.
  • AND, YES, Mine comes out an ugly grayish-brown-purple color, but it tastes so good. Someday when I remember I will put up a picture of mine...
