Kashi TLC Pumpkin Spice Flax barsI tried these delicious new bars and they are really nutty, crunchy and tasty as a quick breakfast addition or a snackthese bars contain 300 mg Omega-3's from whole flax seedsFiber is 4 grams per servingthere are 7 types of whole grains, canola oil, pumpkin seeds and wheat germ and 2 bars equals one ser

Here is a perfect combination from once again our good old friend "Trader Joes" Trader Joes brand Valencia Peanut Butter with Roasted Flaxseeds-crunchy and salty, it contains 320 mg ALA Omega 3 Fatty Acids per serving (approx 2 tsps) and the ingredients are merely peanuts, roasted golden flaxseeds and salt plus....... Trader Joe's Organic Superfruit Spread (a blend of morello cherrys, red grapes, blueberries and pomegranates) which is mostly from juices but only 8 grams of sugar per tsp and contains 60% DV of Vit C per serving This combination is an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and pro-nutrient dense match and might I add, on some whole grain full of seeds bread, it is a yummy sandwich!!!!!!!! you can enjoy as a meal or snack!

While shopping at Trader Joes the other day, I stumbled upon an amazing product!Trader Joes Five Seed Almond BarsThey are made with flax, poppy, sunflower, sesame and pumpkin seeds and combined with almonds, cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar and honey to create these soft, chewy and delicious cookie barsThey taste amazing, but what is so wonderful is that each 110 calorie bar has 53mg EPA and DHA. The omega 3 sources seem to be from the flax as well as Omega-3 refined menhaden fish oil (with tocoperols)If you live by a Trader Joes you just have to try it!
