To boost your serotonin and melatonin levels or like me you want your brain to function coherently, then you need Omega 3 in your diet. I love flaxseed oil for its added value (I hate the taste though). I usually take 1 tsp of flaxseed oil with my breakfast and 1 tsp after my lunch. I also love using flaxseed oil in my smoothies. This smoothie is excellent as a morning snack. It doesn't just allow you to tick 3 servings of fruits from your daily food pyramid, but it also gives you healthy fats, replenishes your potassium levels and keeps you full till next meal time. For the wheatgrass, well we all know how super good that is.
Ingredients
1 papaya, peeled and deseeded
2 tsp flaxseed oil
160 grams mango, peeled chopped
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup ice
1 tsp synergy wheat grass powder (optional)
Method:
Put all ingredients in a blender and whizz until smooth. Serve immediately.
Well that makes two of us at least who hate the taste of flaxseed oil. You are spot on about the importance of having Omega 3 in your diet though and that our body doesn't actually produce this. Your drink looks great so will be trying that out. I also noticed recently in a supermarket that they are selling a grain version of flaxseed mixed with dried berries that you can sprinkle on your cereal so that might be worth checking out as well.
