Flax Seed Part 3: Blueberry Flaxseed Kefir Shake

My third and final installment on flaxseed:  Using flaxseeds in shakes.
I have to say it totally MAKES the shake good for me.  Just like fresh press garlic MAKES guacamole for me.

I have this particular shake every other morning.  I like to change it up so my body doesn’t get too used to something or start producing antibodies towards something it gets too much of, and its especially good for making sure my body doesn’t get stuck in a rut or plateauing if I am wanting to lose weight.

So here it is:

8 ounces or 1 cup Kefir (I have starters for any of you who live by me!)
1/3 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
2 TBS fructose sweetened protein powder (I use cookies n cream flavored by Herbalife)
2 TBS flaxseed
1 TBS black sesame seeds (VERY good for brightening the eyes – I found in china town for way cheap)
1 TBS coix seed (optional – but VERY good for brightening the eyes and complexion –  I found in china town for way cheap)

I whirl it around in my vitamix for 20 seconds – I don’t like it freezing cold anymore – just cool.  Any blender should do.

And WHALAH – its so good, and keeps me full – tons of great beneficial probiotics and beneficial yeasts from the kefir and omega 3s and fantastic nutty taste from the flax seed, protein from the powder, powerful antioxidants from the blueberries, eye and complexion brighteners from the seeds.  What a GREAT way to start the day!

What powerful breakfast food(s) to you have in the morning?
