Soak flaxseeds and pignoli nuts overnight with two cups water. Combine with remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth, adding more water for desired consistency. Leave out the garlic for a plain buttermilk to enjoy as a drink.
Add herbs of your choice and interchange garlic with onions.
This is a versatile recipe. Flaxseed is very soothing to the digestive tract and is good source of protein as well as unsaturated fatty acids. It is also an aid for correcting constipation.
