From fighting fatigue to helping protect the skin, there are many reasons to add these little seeds to your diet. Flaxseeds come in various forms, but whether you’ve got whole flaxseeds or milled flax ground into a powder, there are plenty of ways to use this healthy ingredient. Did you know that vegan baking recipes even call for flax eggs?

Here are 10 easy ways to start using more flaxseeds in your everyday:

A great way to use flax is to simply add a teaspoon to your smoothies. Blend into the smoothie with the other ingredients, or sprinkle over the top of thick smoothie bowl creations.

Sprinkle flaxseeds over cereal for added crunch and flavour, or make your own healthy breakfast by combining rolled oats, chia seeds, goji berries, chopped nuts, and dried fruit plus flax.
