This is the most fantastic way to get extra nutrients into your kids. These seeds are full of beautiful oils which kids need when are developing strong healthy brains. The outside of our cells are made up of fat so if we don't have enough fat in our diet our brains feel foggy.
So often we are lacking in good quality fats from things like avocado, butter and coconut oil. It can be hard to get those things daily into kids but a tablespoon of magic seed mix in porridge, smoothies, savoury dishes or in anything you make is a great start.
My kids love putting magic seed mix into whatever we cook! Get your kids (and you!) used to adding it to everything. Who needs protein powder??
Ingredients
- 1 large handful of organic Australian sunflower seeds (try to avoid those from China as they are quite toxic)
- 1 large handful of chia seeds
- 1 large handful of flaxseeds or linseeds
- 1/2 cup rapadura or coconut sugar
- 1 large handful of pumpkin seeds
- 1 large handful of any other seeds you like!)
- **Optional extras - 1 handful of goji berries & 1 handful of coconut
Directions
- Grind flaxseeds first in food processor or thermomix
- Add other seeds and grind until you form a fine powder (don't over grind or you will turn into seed butter)
- Keep in glass container in the fridge due to oxidisation of the oils.
