10 Easy Ways Cafés Can Use Organic LSA in Every Menu

A simple superfood boost! Quick ways to use organic LSA (linseed, sunflower seed, almond) in your menu. 10 café-friendly ideas with practical tips.

Looking for one product that quietly lifts the nutrition and appeal of half your menu? Organic LSA is a blend of linseed, sunflower seed and almond with added probiotic—it brings plant-based protein, fibre and omega-3s in a format that's fast for your team to use and easy for customers to understand. Whether you're adding LSA to smoothies, sprinkling it over bowls, or baking with it, this mix works everywhere. Here are 10 simple ideas to get more value from every bag.

1. LSA smoothie ideas: boost protein and fibre

Stir 1–2 tablespoons (10–20g) of Organic LSA into each smoothie before blending.
It thickens naturally, adds a nutty flavour, and boosts plant-based protein and fibre without extra prep. On your menu, call it out as "+ organic LSA with probiotic" as a paid upgrade for green, berry or breakfast blends.

2. LSA topping for yoghurt and cereal

Use LSA as a finishing sprinkle over existing granola or muesli bowls.
A 1 tablespoon (10g) scatter adds visible texture and nutrition with zero extra labour. Position it as a "protein and omega-3 topper" on signature bowls or as a standard inclusion on your healthiest option.

3. LSA breakfast ideas: overnight oats

Stir 2 tablespoons (20g) of LSA into each portion of overnight oats along with your usual milk or yoghurt.
It helps create a thicker, creamier texture and adds a subtle roasted seed flavour. Highlight it on the menu line: "rolled oats, organic LSA with probiotic, chia, seasonal fruit".

4. LSA yoghurt parfaits

Build simple café parfaits: Greek or coconut yoghurt, seasonal fruit, granola, then a visible layer of Organic LSA with Probiotic on top.
The fine texture contrasts nicely with chunkier granola and gives a clear "wholefood" look in glassware. Prep in batches so staff simply grab, garnish and serve during the rush.

5. LSA smoothie bowl topping

Fold 1–2 tablespoons (10–20g) of LSA into açai or smoothie bowl bases before pouring, then add a final sprinkle over the top.
This keeps the texture scoopable whilst increasing satiety and perceived value. On the menu, mention "thickened with organic LSA for a nutrient boost".

6. Using LSA in baking

Replace 10–20% of the flour in banana bread, carrot cake or breakfast muffins with Organic LSA with Probiotic.
It adds moisture, nuttiness and a more wholesome crumb without scaring off traditional customers. Use this in your behind-the-scenes prep and mention on cabinet tags: "made with organic LSA (linseed, sunflower seed and almond)".

7. LSA snack ideas

Combine dates, oats or coconut, nut butter and LSA in the food processor, then roll into portioned balls and chill.
LSA does double duty as both a binder and a nutrient-dense base, so you need fewer separate ingredients. Roll finished balls in a light coat of LSA instead of cocoa or coconut for a distinctive look in the display.

8. LSA breakfast ideas: hot porridge

Offer Organic LSA With Probiotic as a standard mix-in for winter porridge.
Stir 1 tablespoon (10g) through just before serving so it keeps some texture and doesn't over-thicken on the stove. Print a simple call-out on your menu board: "Served with organic LSA, seeds and seasonal fruit".

9. LSA brunch topping

Use LSA as an alternative to icing sugar on pancakes or waffles.
Plate, add fruit and yoghurt, then finish with a generous sprinkle of LSA for a café-appropriate, less-refined look. This works particularly well on kids' and brunch dishes, where parents appreciate a more nutrient-dense option without it feeling "too healthy.

10. Selling organic LSA at the counter

Decant LSA into labelled jars for your shelves or merchandise the 200g packs near the counter.
Train staff with a simple line: "It's the same organic LSA we use in our smoothies and bowls – great over yoghurt or in baking at home." This turns a back-of-house staple into a small but steady retail revenue stream.

Frequently asked questions

What is organic LSA?
Organic LSA is a ground blend of linseed, sunflower seed and almond. When combined with a probiotic culture like BC30, it delivers plant-based protein, omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fibre and beneficial bacteria in one convenient ingredient. It's widely used in health-focused cafés, smoothie bars and bakeries across Australia.

How much organic LSA should I use per serving?
Most café applications use 1–2 tablespoons (10–20g) per serve, depending on the dish. For smoothies and smoothie bowls, 10–20g is typical; for overnight oats and porridge, 15–20g works well; and for baking, you'd replace 10–20% of flour weight. Start with 10g and adjust to your menu's texture preferences.

Can cafés use organic LSA in both hot and cold dishes?
Yes. Organic LSA works equally well stirred into cold smoothies, overnight oats and yoghurt parfaits, or mixed into hot porridge and baked goods. It doesn't require cooking, so there's no loss of nutritional value in hot applications. Just avoid adding it to dishes that will be held at high heat for extended periods, as this can oxidise the delicate oils.

Is organic LSA suitable for customers with allergies?
Organic LSA contains tree nuts (almond) and seeds (linseed and sunflower), so it's not suitable for customers with those allergies. Always disclose ingredients clearly on your menu and train staff to mention allergens when discussing menu options. Be mindful of cross-contamination in your prep areas if you serve customers with severe allergies.

What's the shelf life of organic LSA once opened?
Unopened, organic LSA will keep for 12 months in a cool, dark cupboard. Once opened, store it in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to preserve freshness and prevent the oils from oxidising. Typically, an opened bag will stay fresh for 4–6 weeks in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
