How to Add Flaxseed to Your Diet
Here at Flax USA, we try to keep our customers informed about our products, and their best uses. One of the top questions we hear often is: “Do you have any new recipes I can try out?” We try to keep our culinary repertoire fresh in anticipation of these questions, and often refresh it with recipes we find “out there.”
We recently found a cool article on NYTimes.com, “How to Add Flaxseed to Your Diet.” Not only is it informative, but it offers fun (and yes delicious!) recipes you to enjoy alone or share during your upcoming summer celebrations. Try them out, and let us know how you like them in the comments section of our blog below.
And if in the process of creating these recipes you create your own yummy variations, by all means let us know. Flax is to be shared, not hoarded! Meanwhile, click here to check out the recipes.
An Analysis of Non-dairy Milk Suggests a Strong Alternative
In our travels around the country, talking to people at Walmart stores and hearing from them via electronic media, we are finding that our product, Flaxmilk is becoming more and more popular. People seem to like the taste, enjoy the price and marvel at all of the health benefits.
We are finding that some readers, who have issues with the other non-dairy alternatives to milk, prefer Flaxmilk as well because it has relatively no draw backs. This was the case with a customer who recently reviewed Flaxmilk on her blog, Always Sick and Tired, Help Me Get Healthy. We find her perspective to be interesting and insightful. Click here to view her blog, and then come back to this page to comment. We would love to know your thoughts.

People Are Responding to Flaxmilk – Don’t Miss Your Opportunity to Try it Out!
Flaxmilk, the revolutionary new healthy option for nondairy milk drinkers, was released in most Walmart stores at the beginning of last week, and is flying off of the shelves! (The milk was already sold out in two North Dakota stores last week). Flaxmilk creator, Stephanie Stober, had the following to say after a recent taste test in North Dakota. “The public really liked it. The North Dakota response was phenomenal, they even preferred it over soy milk. People liked the taste and that it wasn’t so thick, but creamy.”
So go out and buy Flaxmilk so you can taste for yourself. Meanwhile, don’t forget these compelling reasons for why you should buy Flaxmilk!
• It’s made from the finest natural ingredients including flax oil from cold pressed unrefined flax seed,
whole golden milled flax seed and cane sugar.
• It provides a balanced source of Omega-3 and Omega 6 “good fats,” which most diets are deficient in!
• Provides 1,100 mg PER SERVING!
• It comes in two flavors to choose from –vanilla and original!
• It is free of the allergens that can be found in other milks – Dairy Free, Lactose Free, Gluten Free and Soy Free.
• And you won’t be missing out: Flaxmilk contains just as much calcium as dairy milk!
The following article, published by Inforum.com, reveals more information about Flaxmilk, the first product of its kind. If you’re not yet convinced, this article will sway you in the right direction.
Enjoy your Flaxmilk!
