I make smoothies with berries, whey protein powder, ice, ground flax
seeds, tree nuts, no carb liquid of choice (Fruit 02, water, selter,
diet soda, your choice), add a little guar gum or xanthan gum for
consistency, blend.

Two questions:

How do you keep the flax seed from settling? Every trime I've tried it, the
ground seeds end up at the bottom of the blender.

I think the viscosity of the mix (with ice and gums) tends to keep the
ground flax suspended relatively well. There is a bit of settling, of
course, but not excessive.

How are the gums useable cold? I thought they required cooking.

Nah. No cooking required. Just spoon'em in!
