Fast Fruit & Flax Juice

Try this simple recipe after your next massage. It provides calcium, which aids in muscle recovery, and vitamin C-an antioxidant that can help prevent oxidative damage from exercise or a vigorous massage. The flaxseed adds omega-3 fatty acids, which are important to anti-inflammatory processes, not to mention cardiac function, cognitive development and overall good health.

Ingredients
8 oz. calcium-fortified orange juice
2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
3 ice cubes

Instructions
Blend until smooth.
