I add Flax to smoothies and baked goods occasionally. Mark Sisson has a good article about too much Flax, so don’t over do it. Here is one way to get a little extra Omega- 3- Fatty Acids into my families diet. Cookies work every time for a 1 year old and my super hubby! These cookies are great for pregnancy as well- blackstrap molasses is a great source of iron.
