Commentary: This would be an excellent pregnancy smoothie as well because of the wheat germ. The wheat germ is an excellent source of B vitamins and source of vitamin E. In fact, you should add this in to your cereals and even make smoothies for dinner or after dinner. B vitamins can aid in helping your body manage stress. Overall, delicious healthy smoothie and don't forget to add in your green powder and your hemp seed. Enjoy!

This is an amzing soup. It so easy and so affordable. Top w/ Pine Nuts for extra protein and nutrition. It's vegan and packed full of nutrients. Yummy!

Alternative Version
I didn't have stock or nutmeg so.....I mixed onion, garlic, thyme, water with acorn squash and blended. Then, I simmered with unsweetened almond milk and added cinnamon and some maple syrup. For extra protein for my husband, I added tofu. It was so yummy.

DIRECTIONS: Blend flax seeds( dark one and water in blender for 2-3 minutes to create what will resemble milk. It will look like a creamy mucilage consisitency. It sounds gross but, its wonderful. Don't blend to long it will be to frothy and slimy.  I used @ 1.4 - 1.5 cup flax seeds and half blender filled with filtered water. Once blended, warm on stove.
If it looks watery add more flax seeds, if it's to thick add more water or thin it out with
soy milk, hemp, almond, etc.

In a mug add some cinnamon and sweetener , add warmed flax milk, sprinkle additional cinnamon and soy milk whip cream(optional).
Will make a warm, creamy, super healthy drink that some say taste like a latte.



This is great to have with dinner or before bed for the children. It is also very filling and comforting. Great for replacing junky sweet foods. It is also great for filling up your belly if you are trying to cut calories.
We like to drink warm drinks especially in the winter months. Usually, we will warm soy milk with honey/agave and cinnamon. See my holistic health page for additional health benefits.
