Can you freeze them to keep them longer?
Oh, I forgot to ask– do you know of a good way to try and make the berries come out as singles? Most recipes I’ve seen give results that are like small globs of berries (like 3-6 berries together) but I would like to make individual pieces. Other than simply getting my hands dirty and just pulling them out of the melted chocolate individually, I’m not sure what to do. I’ve had the idea to try something based on how industrial machines coat things evenly, but haven’t had much progress there without spending plenty of money and/or needing tons of room/equipment.
You might try using chopsticks
You don’t mention any specific temps on the chocolate. How do you prevent the chocolate from ‘blooming’ and the like without using a candy (or similar food) thermometer? Anyway, good job sharing a interesting and healthy recipe with the masses. Kerri it up :)
Do I have to put Flax Seeds?
No, you can leave them out
I wanted to ask if it is still necessary to take a probiotic if using the Green Superfood daily since it has probiotics in it?
Yes, the strains in the probiotic supplement are different than the ones found in the green superfood powder.
Dr Axe just wanted to thank you for sharing all of your knowledge. You have helped to make my life more vital more abundant. I can sense you love God because you shine! The world is a better ace because you are on the planet. Thank you for what you do! Blessings! !
Thanks for the encouragement!
Hi Dr. Axe,
I’ve noticed you usually recommend sprouted seeds whenever seeds are part of a recipe. Do I buy them this way or do I sprout them myself? And if I sprout them myself, do you have instructions? Thanks!
You can do either. I am coming out with a sprouted flax in the next 2 months! It can be a tricky process to do at home but here is a good article with instructions, just make sure to dehydrate and grind them after sprouting the seeds: http://www.living-foods.com/articles/sprouting.html
how do u sprout flax seeds and toast them
I am coming out with a sprouted flax in the next 2 months so you won’t have to worry about doing any of the added work! It can be a tricky process to do at home but here is a good article with instructions, just make sure to dehydrate and grind them after sprouting the seeds: http://www.living-foods.com/articles/sprouting.html
When sprouting flax, what did you do to keep it from molding? That is the problem that I experienced.
Do you have it down to a science?
I don’t have it down to a science, it can be a tricky process to do on your own which is why I am coming out with a sprouted flax in the next 2 months! Here is a good article with instructions, just make sure to dehydrate and grind them after sprouting the seeds: http://www.living-foods.com/articles/sprouting.html
Ground or whole flax?
Both are excellent, but I usually recommend sprouted ground flax.
