Many consumers like to stir flaxseed into a glass of juice in the morning. Flaxseed contains both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. The soluble fiber causes the flaxseed granules to swell, which helps them stay suspended in solution. When formulating smoothies and other juice beverages, adjust the beverage viscosity with starches or vegetable gums to help keep the flaxseed particles in suspension.

The suspended flaxseed granules are also highly flexible and will pass through a homogenizer under suitable operating conditions. You don’t need much flaxseed in an 8-oz glass of juice to meet a “high omega-3 claim” – only 1.3-grams. And, don’t overlook all the other healthy nutrients that flaxseed contributes to your health beverage.
