Jarrow Formulas Spectrum Essentials Organic Ground Essential Flaxseed 14 oz
The virtues of consuming flax seed are much-extolled, but many people
don't realize that you can't get any nutritional benefit from eating the
seeds whole (they simply pass through your system). You could ground
the flax seeds yourself, or you can buy a great product like this one by
Spectrum. Ground flax is a wonderful addition to your diet--just 2 TB
adds protein (3g), fiber (3g), and healthy fats. Plus, flax has a
delicious nutty taste that is perfect on cereal, yogurt, salads, or even
as a filler in things like meatloaf. Finally, if you store it in the
freezer, it will keep for months--highly recommended!

Jarrow Formulas Brown Jarrow Formulas Optimal Plant Proteins, 19 oz (540 Grams)
I have worked for a nutrition retailer in the
past, and am an active gym goer, so I have tried my fair share of
powdered proteins. The most abundant form of protein powder is whey, as
whey is inexpensive, highly bioavailable, fast absorbing, and rich with
the necessary amino acids for building muscle. But whey causes a lot of
digestive discomfort for many, creating a need for alternative sources
of protein. And sometimes it's just nice to take a break from whey.
Jarrow Plant Proteins is an excellent option and might now be my
favorite plant-based protein powder.
PROS:
* Mixes well in both water and milk, with little to no clumping
* Flavor is surprisingly palatable, even enjoyable, and mixes well with fresh fruits for a fantastic smoothie
* Excellent source of fiber (5g)
* Low in calories, fat and carbs, while yielding a high protein content
* Gluten, soy and dairy free
* Very clean ingredient profile with no unnecessary fillers/additives, and no artificial colors
CONS:
* Texture might be considered a little gritty, but isn't a deal breaker
* Price per serving is a tad on the high side (as of this posting, about $1/serving)
* Could be a little sweeter to enhance palatability
