Can I freeze North Hound Life superfoods in molds?

There is one which we don't recommend at all and that is GI Balance. You won't be able to make a paste with it after it is frozen. It is a good idea for you to save time in portioning out superfoods and to have them available at any moment. However, like all food, superfoods will loose some levels of potency once frozen, but not enough to that you will notice a difference. Instead of freezing, we suggest you mix your chosen superfood with Coconut Oil and let it set in your refrigerator, They will retain their shape in the refrigerator without having to freeze them.
