Super Seed Powder
MY SPECIAL SEED POWDER RECIPE
Seeds are a nutritional powerhouse and a must include for everyone. ESPECIALLY FOR VEGETARIANS & VEGANS due to the plant based protein and omega 3.
They are a brilliant source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, minerals and vitamins.
Each seed has its unique benefits which is why my recipe uses a mix to ensure we get a little of all the important ones.
I've ground it to ensure max absorption. It is best to grind just before consuming but i find I never have time for that. So i make a weeks worth and store it in the fridge.

Have 1 tbsp daily
NOTES :
1.you can use any blend of seeds. I've incorporated all to ensure a variety of nutrients
2. I used hemp seeds with the shell - these are high in protein
3. I usually mix in some chia seeds into the powder. So they remain whole

I bought most of these ingredients from Happy Healthy Me online. If you live else, these are easily available on amazon. Check Urban Platter, Living Food co etc.
How to use ?
Have 1 tsp a day. You can take this with water or along with food or add to a salad. Ideally have this along with a meal
Why we are grinding them and not eating directly ?
Seeds are harder to break down and you'll see a lot pass through intact into your morning stool. Via grinding we want to give the body the maximum support in absorbing the nutrients over letting it pass through because then we are literally flushing it down the toilet :)
