Efficiency

It's easy to sprinkle extras into your smoothies, and there are lots of options.  I started with chia seeds. Years ago, a co-worker started eating chia seeds due to their superfood characteristics.  At the time I thought it a bit odd, only knowing chia seeds from the couple of Chia Pets I had raised.  Plus he would eat them by the pinch out of a sandwich bag.  But seeing chia seeds listed in numerous smoothie recipes, I gave them a try.  I found a convenient jar of unmilled seeds at the grocery store.  Unmilled seeds are supposed to be better because milling in advance loses some of the nutrients.  The Nutribullet I use pulverizes the seeds, although some blenders may not be able to handle seeds as well.

This brand has a top designed for pouring or measuring

Each day I sprinkle a teaspoon or two into my smoothies.  The jar of the Salba brand I found is great for this sort of thing since it has a lid like the ones you see on grated parmesean cheese.  Before long I started adding flax seeds and almonds to each smoothie.  I keep the empty chia seed jars and use them to hold my other smoothie extras.  This makes it a lot quicker when preparing my morning smoothie as I can just sprinkle some chia and flax seeds in before blending.  I also keep the almonds in a chia seed jar, pouring the 5-6 almonds I need from the larger opening.  I even made "labels" for the repurposed jars.

Original and reskinned jars

I recently added a fourth jar to my lineup.

Hemp seeds.  Apparently a Kashmir superfood

Sprinkling in my seeds is pretty efficient.  It is still a little time consuming, especially with three different seeds.  I started including the almonds in my baggies of frozen ingredients.  Perhaps there is some way to further improve the seed additions...
