Tips and tricks

• La Greens+ powder powder can simply be added to a glass of water, no-bake snack balls or a smoothie. 
• For better absorption of the nutrients present in flaxseedIt is recommended to crush it yourself at home before each use. 
• Spend more time chewing your food! That's right! Even a smoothie bowl requires the addition of saliva (salivary amylase) to facilitate the digestion and catabolism of long-chain carbohydrates. What's more, eating slowly gives your body enough time to let you know when it's full. So you can avoid overeating!
• By varying the textures of the foods you garnish, your breakfast will be as interesting in the mouth as it is to the eye!
