  1. I would put the flax seed oil in my morning smoothie and the ground flaxseeds in my morning eggs.

  2. I would use the flax seed oil in smoothies and I would love to try this salmon recipe with the Barlean’s Forti-Flax ground flaxseed.

  3. We use flax seeds in breads, pizza, pasta and lots of other things. I will have to look up creative ideas to add to flax oil!
