Flax/Smoothie question

[tampabayshore]

Hi,
I soak my flax seeds overnight before adding to a morning smoothie.
Should I discard the soak water? Or just add it to the smoothie? I know you're supposed to discard the soak water when soaking beans, but not sure about flax seeds.

thx,

you still have water after soaking flax overnight? usually they suck up the water and form a goo
:confused:
i dont think it has to be discarded

If you've got soak water left over, then you're using too much water. I gently (by hand) blend the water with the seeds to make sure they're all soaked. You shouldn't be able to separate the seeds from the water. As JHB said, it's all goo! (as it should be)

I use finely ground flax seeds in my smoothies. I buy it already pre-ground and keep it in the freezer.
