Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon of flaxseed.
- Pour 3 tablespoons of water over the flaxseed.

- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.

Tips:
- For an extra boost of flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the shake.

- If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a bit more water or a splash of your favorite type of milk.
- Blend the flaxseed before adding it to the shake to ensure a smoother texture.
- To make the shake colder and more refreshing, use frozen papaya chunks or add a few ice cubes before blending.
