nb: LSA is a super healthy acronym for a ground mix of a blended Linseed, Sunflower and Almond meal.
LSA has a Health Star Rating of 5 (the healthiest rating there is) which is hardly surprising since linseed, sunflower seeds and almonds are jam-packed full of nutrients. As a whole, LSA is loaded with protein, essential for muscles building and repair, and is an excellent source of dietary fibre that helps keep your digestive system in good working order.
