This document provides various ways to incorporate Mila seeds into one's diet including adding it to drinks, pre-hydrating the seeds, and recommended daily servings. Some key uses mentioned are adding Mila to water, smoothies, or juice, pre-soaking Mila for 10 minutes to 24 hours to increase hydration and nutrient absorption, and recommending 1-2 scoops per day for adults with lower amounts for children and babies.

1.
Some
of
the
Ways
We
Use
Mila
Adding
Mila
to
whatever
you
drink
–
water,
smoothies,
juice
etc.
-­‐
is
the
easiest.
However,
we
have
provided
some
other
suggestions
below.
Make
sure
you
drink
lots
of
water
as
these
seeds
are
full
of
fiber
and
water
is
important
when
incorporating
Mila
into
your
diet.
Pre-­‐Hydrating
Mila
Mila
is
very
absorbent
and
can
hold
9:1
water
ratio.
It
is
very
beneficial
and
more
hydrating
for
your
body
to
consume
pre-­‐
soaked
Mila,
but
not
necessary.
If
drinking
Mila,
stir
1
scoop
in
1-­‐2
cups
of
fluid
and
let
pre-­‐soak
for
at
least
10
minutes
and
up
to
24-­‐hours.
Experiment
with
this
ratio,
depending
on
the
consistency
you
prefer.
Pre-­‐soaking
Mila
enhances
the
bio-­‐
availability
of
all
of
Mila's
nutrients
(including
fiber),
it
hydrates
the
lower
GI
and
decreases
removal
of
H2O
from
the
GI.
Pre-­‐
soaking
may
also
eliminate
bloating
and
stomach
discomfort
that
some
may
experience.
Recommended
Daily
Serving
To
experience
all
the
wonderful
positive
health
benefits
of
Mila
one
needs
to
commit
to
a
consistent
30-­‐day
trial.
Some
people
feel
the
wonderful
health
benefits
right
away,
while
others
notice
changes
after
a
2-­‐4
week
period.
Not
everybody
"feels"
the
health
benefits,
but
no
doubt,
this
nutrient-­‐dense
whole
raw
food
provides
a
significant
upgrade
to
one's
health.
Adults:
1-­‐2
Scoops
per
day
Children
under
65
pounds:
up
to
1
TBS
(½
scoop)
Babies:
up
to
½
TBS
Some
prefer
to
start
taking
Mila
at
a
lower
daily
serving
size,
then
increase
over
the
first
week
or
two
to
be
sure
the
body
adjusts
to
the
increased
nutrients
and
fiber.
Drink:
Stir
into
beverage
of
choice.
Coconut
water,
water,
Apple,
Orange,
or
Pomegranate
Juice
are
very
popular.
Homemade
lemonade
is
good
too.
Blend:
Blend
into
yogurt,
oatmeal,
hummus,
cottage
cheese,
etc.
Smoothies:
Add
Mila
or
pre-­‐soaked
Mila
(see
note
above)
directly
to
a
smoothie
and
blend
away.
The
Mila
will
thicken
the
smoothie
over
time,
so
add
more
liquid
to
adjust
consistency.
(see
below
for
some
combinations
that
we
like)
Stir:
Stir
into
almond
milk
or
soy
milk.
Adjust
amount
of
liquid
depending
on
the
consistency
that
you
desire.
For
a
more
pudding-­‐like
texture,
add
less
water,
and
for
a
more
drinkable
version,
add
more.
Bake:
Mix
into
pancake,
muffin,
bread
or
cake
mix.
Toss:
Toss
into
salad
or
pasta
Other:
Mix
into
pizza
sauce,
pasta
sauce,
rice,
quinoa
or
other
grains
