Mega Oil Recipes
Mega Oil can be a great addition to your family's health, including Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) has shown to be very beneficial to those that suffer from skin conditions or would prefer to boost their EFA's in their diet. Our Mega Oil contains the exact ratio of 2-1-1 of Omega 3, 6 and 9. This is optimal to health as your body cannot make Omega 3 and must be consumed from another source like our Mega Oil!
We have chosen to use only seed oils as many people with allergies cannot tolerate fish oils that are predominately used for EFA's. These seeds give our Mega Oil a delicious nutty flavour.
Our Mega Oil is also conveniently available in liquid form as then it can be easily consumed right off the spoon or quickly added to meals.
Please remember that when you bring the Mega Oil home to put it in the fridge as after it has been opened it must be refrigerated! You cannot cook with the Mega Oil but you can add it to any already prepared foods. Here are a few we have tried and love!
Mega Oil Smoothie
1 cup plain yogurt
2 cups frozen blueberries
½ cup of green tea
1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
3 teaspoons of Mega oil
- Start by steeping your green tea. Preferably, use fresh matcha powder over the teabag variety, since green tea (much like omega-3 fish oil) is better in a fresh, less processed form.
2. In a blender, combine the yogurt, blueberries, and green tea and blend until smooth. Add the honey if you prefer the extra sweetness.
3. Pour the mixture into a tall glass.
4. Now, with a spoon, stir in the Omega Cure until smooth.
