Why Add Nutriwish Seeds to Smoothies?

Chia Seeds:

Flax Seeds:

  • Provide omega-3s, lignans (antioxidants), and fiber.
  • Support heart health, blood sugar balance, and regularity.

Pumpkin Seeds:

  • Deliver magnesium, iron, zinc, protein, and healthy fats.
  • Aid heart health, immunity, and muscle recovery.
