No no no! Don't give up! Emerald Cocoa Roast Almonds have saved me in the same situation. Only 3 net carbs PLUS you get a kick of protein and fiber to boot. You can get them from the grocery store as well, this was just the easy link. :D Keto on girl, you can do it!

It might be kind of fun to start shipping hemp products to our lawmakers. As an example, Costco has sold this product in the Treasure Valley for nearly three years:

Sauces, does salsa count?
Two months ago I stumbled into /r/SalsaSnobs and it was so fun and tasty that I've made it a weekly cooking adventure! Tonight I finished off an entire mason jar of homemade pineapple pear salsa, no salt no sugar just veggies and fruit and deliciousness! I've done different varieties, mango habanero is probably the best overall and most popular with the people I've shared with, but peach pear was pretty fucking great as well!
In my experimenting I also started taking unsalted roasted peanuts and cooking with garlic and chili de arbol, then blending up with white vinegar to make a thick pouring, idek, mole? Something. It's got fucking bite!
I also make guacamole at least once a week or so, just pico from tomatoes onions and jalapenos chopped up, avocado blended smooth with the juice from one lime and cumin garlic powder and paprika, then the pico folded into the blended avocado.
Hummus is great and filling as all fuck, but I try not to make it too often - less than once a month, it's a special treat. I use tahini made from just straight sesame seeds and canned chickpeas, with cumin and garlic and lemon juice, but it's so full of (healthy) fats and I'll end up eating everything I make, so have to limit myself!
>classic hummus
I've been making my own Hummus for about a year and a half now, and I've been pretty pleased with it, it has far less oil too. I buy the ingredients online, I could get canned chickpeas locally, but couldn't get Tahini. Canned chickpeas are about 99c a can in most grocery stores if you go that route.
5lb of Organic Chickpeas $14.95 - - a whole hell of a lot of chickpeas. It lasts me ~2 months making a batch a week.
2 16 OZ jars of Tahini $10.49 which is enough for 5-6 batches of Hummus.
I cook 2 cups dry chickpeas, which will fill up a 5 cup food storage container no problem, which is a LOT of hummus.
Chickpeas are beans, so they need to soak. Soak them in water overnight, then drain, put in a pot of fresh water, add a tsp of baking soda and simmer for ~2 hours. You want to cook them until the skins are dissolved and they're really soft, which is the key to smooth hummus. Once they're done, drain them.
Mix about 1/2 cup Tahini with 1/2 cup lemon juice (2 lemons give or take if you use fresh) and 2 cloves garlic (or about a tablespooon of chopped garlic) and put in a blender or food processor and blend for a bit. Add salt and pepper, and optionally you can add parsley and cumin and/or greek seasoning. Add the cooked and drained chickpeas and blend until smooth. Add a bit more lemon juice or water if it's too thick for you.
More Tahini will give the hummus a deeper and richer flavor, but nutritionally Tahini is a bit like peanut butter, so the more Tahini the more calories/fat it's going to have. It's still reasonably healthy, just higher in calorie.
Tastier than store bought Hummus and generally healthier because most store bought hummus uses some form of vegetable oil and sesame flavoring rather than actual tahini, so it has more fat in it.
Happy Friday, my friend.
Warning: this is pretty calorie dense (~1K kcal, the oats alone are 600 kcal) but you can easily adjust it. First, remove the PB2 (45 kcal.) Then reduce the oats slightly or substitute a yogurt with less sugar, but I'd recommend just scaling everything because this mix tastes amazing and has perfect mouth feel.

Bob's Red Mill Chia seeds. 12,500+ calories, including 630g of protein, and a whopping 1050g of dietary fiber for 25 bucks after the S&S 15% discount. Packed with EFAs and minerals. I mix a couple of tablespoons with Ultima or some lime juice and stevia.
http://www.amzn.com/B003LPKEPC
Chia seeds can be pretty cheap through Amazon. I like this one for $6-7 - 2lb lasts me about a month of eating it as pudding for breakfast every morning.
Mix 3tbsp with a cup of milk (or milk substitute of your choice). Stir again after it's set up for a few minutes. I like mine with cinnamon, raisins, and a little vanilla extract.
These things are un-fucking-believable
3g net carbs per serving but a serving is really very big. They are my go to dessert food.
delicious
These. Yum!
It sounds like you've realized that your body WANTS to eat because it feels like shit, but eating won't actually help. That's the first mental hurdle. Now you've just got to switch out your go-to foods for healthier versions so that when you do give into the binge (because that happens) it won't be so bad. I lost 35 pounds by just filling up on protein and vegetables FIRST.
I have a small history with eating disorders, mainly in the fact that if I count calories, things get out of control. So I don't count anything. I also don't let myself get too hungry - I'll eat 4-5 big snacks throughout the day, no real 'sit down' meals.
I also make sure I'm drinking enough water - I bought a few of these Contigo water bottles in the 32oz size, and I try to make sure I drink one bottle each day minimum.
I love to cook, but if I cook, I can't do anything else that day, so I eat a lot of packaged food and snacks, or fresh things that just need to be washed. I also eat things with a lot of flavor and spice -- bland food makes me mentally feel like I didn't eat anything, or that I'm depriving myself.
For protein I eat a lot of EPIC meat bars and canned tuna. Instead of eggs (because shells and sinks are unnecessary steps), I make a mountain of egg whites from the carton with sharp cheddar sprinkled/melted in, then LOTS of hot sauce. Sliced deli meats are great things to have on hand -- my deli has Lebanon bologna and lemon-pepper turkey, so I get those instead of the plain stuff.
For veggies, my favorite low-effort thing is IKEA veggie meatballs. But if you don't live near an IKEA, there might be another veggie meatball option at your store. I used to hate salads, then realized I just hated iceberg and romaine lettuce. So now I eat spinach salads (with carrots and olives and roasted red peppers from the jar and sometimes cucumbers). I don't use salad dressing -- just olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic salt. I'll eat green bell peppers raw, like an apple. I eat a lot of apples, too. Honeycrisp are the best.
For good carbs/starches I make beans. Just dump 'em in a bowl in the microwave. Black beans with salsa is probably the healthiest option, but I also liked mixing Great Northern beans with canned sweet peas. Any bean with butter and some kind of hot sauce or salsa is gonna taste ok and be kind of healthy. (Not refried beans, though. Save that for a treat and/or really bad day. Load it up with cheese and salsa.)
To replace chips for salt cravings, I get these salt-and-vinegar almonds. They have lactose, for whatever reason, but other than a bit of bloating the first time I had them, they haven't really bothered my lactose intolerance. And they will low-key tear up your tongue in the BEST way (if you're into that).
I don't really have a sweet tooth, but the KIND bars come in all sorts of flavors and make great snacks. For a cold treat I get the Smooze fruit ices -- they've only got 10 grams of sugar.
I also really like the Thai Kitchen Instant Noodles. They're small servings, so sometimes I'd make two for a meal. Read the packages carefully if you have allergies, though --- the Lemongrass one has shellfish byproducts, which was a very scary and upsetting surprise for me.
Another important thing is just not to have the 'bad foods' (you know the ones) in the house. My dad left a bag of regular cheddar Goldfish here yesterday, and I ate the entire damn thing, despite my gluten and lactose intolerances. So I've been miserable all night. But today I will drink my water and eat my eggs and get back on track.
This was mentioned in another keto post: Cocoa Almonds. Awesome
My local market carries Atkins Advantage Bars link to some examples. They come in many flavors. They're a bit pricey, but I have a sweet tooth so I indulge myself sometimes.
I'm actually doing keto as a vegan, so I might be able to help you out some!
Let me know if there are any dairy replacements that you're really interested in and I can probably point you in a good direction!
An awesome chili peanut snack is these "Magic Chili and Peanuts". It's got huge rounds of dry-fried crispy chili nuggets. They're not especially spicy, but the texture and taste are awesome. Only $5 or $6/bag at 99 Ranch 99.

If you can find something like these cocoa dusted almonds in bulk, I can attest to how delightful they are when intoxicated.
According to omnicalculator.com you (19F 112lbs) need to eat at least 1498 calories a day just to maintain your weight when resting. So if you're wanting to gain weight, you need to eat at least that amount.
For reference, a cup of dry quinoa becomes two cups when cooked, and is 626 calories.
Cook it in some veggie stock with seasoning, and once it's done add black beans, lentils, maybe a can of diced tomatoes, and whatever veggies you want. You can easily get 1000 calories from just that one meal.
Oh! Another high calorie whole food is tahini, which is just ground up sesame seeds and is used to make things like hummus or a bunch of wfpb sauces. It's also about 90 calories per tablespoon.
these
I don't know how popular the flavor 'salt and vinegar' is around here, but I'm wild about it, and have been in love with these Blue Diamond 'Bold' flavors.
Sooo satisfying and tasty!!
Following the recipe above, without any toppings, each serving costs me about $1.45 - which for a lunch I do not think is bad at all. With two tablespoons of Peanut Butter as a topping, which is what I have been doing, it ups the cost to about $1.75 a meal. - but yes 75% of that cost is the hemp seeds
​

updated to include specific measurements I use for each serving as opposed to the whole recipe which is how I determined the cost.
Amazon has the same offer here if anyone is interested.

Sichuan peppercorns? I love them so much, if you are looking for a fucking awesome snack check out Huang Fei Hong peanuts https://www.amazon.com/Huang-Spicy-Crispy-Peanut-Ounce/dp/B00JY7NR7I My labmate from China kept bringing them back when he went home and I got hopelessly addicted.
On that note, if you can get your hands on these - spicy Sichuan peanuts - they are awesome. Roasted peanuts seasoned with dried peppers and Cichuan peppercorns.

Best almonds, ever.
I have these chia seeds on my list! It's a 2-lb bag of black Chia seeds which are not just used for toys and gardens anymore!
I am a recent vegetarian and these things are super versatile and awesome, so the reason I want them is easy: because they taste good, they last forever, and are calorie and nutrient dense!
As far as what I plan to do with them, I will probably use them to fortify baked goods, make chia puddings, and use them in smoothies and protein shakes for a little extra boost!
These glorious things taste like candy.

I have better luck soaking them overnight, then boiling them for an hour or so, less in a pressure cooker.
Make sure you reserve some of the liquid from boiling, and add small amounts if the hummus seems too thick.
Additionally, do not forget the tahini. You may be able to find it locally cheaper, and I have heard some people have substituted peanut butter. I've never tried peanut butter, but I have made hummus without the tahini and it just doesn't taste right.
Try Chia Seeds in a glass of water. They are super filling, I have heard that they are really good for you, and they are less than 50 calories.
Mix the Chia seeds in water and let sit for 15 minutes. They turn into a thick gelatinous drink that should quiet the stomach grumbles for a while.
Gonna throw in a plug for almonds here. Particularly the Emerald Cocoa Roast variety. Filling, tasty, few net carbs, and a super food.
Also, try the Greek people method for broccoli and cauliflower. Extra virgin olive oil, squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. For me, I also add some cinnamon, cumin, and Mrs. Dash, for the thermogenic boost.
I totally understand, maybe it's just your taste buds?
But this is what I get and it works lovely. Good enough to eat by the spoonful (and I definitely have!) https://www.amazon.com/Barons-Kosher-Ground-Sesame-16-ounce/dp/B00B1HL0H8/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1511101043&sr=1-4&keywords=tahini&dpID=51cr9rYzabL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Almonds - either cocoa dusted orrrrr wasabi soy
The cocoa ones are phenomenal when paired with baby carrots. Seriously. I have converted everyone at work already. You're next.
I present to you, Internets!
Emerald's Cocoa Roast Almonds is what I currently have on the shelf. Half off on Amazon right now for 4.
Balut, a developing duck embryo that is boiled alive and eaten in the shell. I'm filipino so my mom made me eat it when I was young, and have been scarred ever since. But my white boyfriend actually really liked it when he tried it, and my mom loved that.
Also I accidently drank a can of juice with a dead cockaroach in it, so there's that.

They're similar but I've read chia seeds are a bit better. These are the ones I like. Hopefully they help.
Here's a good deal on Amazon. Hummus is awesome.
Yeah up your fiber intake.
I make these like fruit and kale smoothies and add a bunch of chia seeds in it for breakfast. It's worked better for me than fiber pills.
It's worked way better for me than the fiber pills...plus get other things from fruits/veggies...and sometimes fills me up so I don't need lunch/lose weight.
You just throw peanuts in a crockpot with cajun or other seasoning and boil them on low for a day. I buy the stuff off amazon. You really can't fuck it up except for bringing it to work where nobody in TX has any idea what they are and are afraid of even trying them.

i've seen tahini at almost every big grocery store.
it's often found in the kosher section (where the gefilte fish, matzo, and matzo ball stuff is), which is often near the asian sections, and I've also seen it near the nut butters.
and of course, there's always amazon

Do you like coconut? I recently bought a 4 pack of shredded UNSWEETENED coconut from amazon!~ It is amazing. There is totally no need for sweetened coconut, and all the stores around here were strictly sweetened.. UGH! You can eat it in a lot of things! I eat it mixed with natural peanut butter for a treat//fat bomb on keto. SO GOOD!
I know some do not like coconut, soo I will also suggest chia seeds. They are filling and FULL of fiber! You can add them to smoothies, drinks, liquids and they swell up and make a gooey consistency like tapioca.. Though some don't like that you can grind them up and they feel more pudding-like. (With a coffee grinder, or mortar/pestle.) I use them for chocolate pudding. Unsweetened cocoa, sugar substitute and unsweetened almond milk with some sugar substitute. It's great for a treat after a night of the seeds swelling up.
"OM NOM NOM"
Can you please surprise me? Thank you for the contest and good luck at the job!
/u/call_mecthulhu is totally all that!~!
Exceedingly good calorie density: peanut butter, almond butter, shots of olive oil, whey protein shakes with a cup or two of milk, heavy whipping cream, delicious coated almonds .
here and here are also acceptable choices.
Make me smile, Rasta!
Like this :)
You can't go wrong with chia seeds . You may have heard of them and they generally get positive reviews for their high nutritional content but less so for their hydrophiliac properties. I would have similar problems with my long runs when I first started running - but chia seems to really moderate and control things if I take it right before I go out.
They sell them on Amazon for cheap. Well, at least cheaper than my grocery store. http://www.amazon.com/Emerald-Cocoa-Almonds-Chocolate-Canister/dp/B001EQ55RW/
Not worth it if you can't stop, or if they stall you. But otherwise... mmmmmm!
These are my favorites for such an indulgence. 6g of carbs, 3g of that is fiber.
No idea if it's the same, but you can buy it on Amazon if you really want to. Note that this is more than double the price of what I buy locally for the same size. Try to see if there's an asian grocery store near you.
I do eat pork rinds a lot actually, they are great because they are low in calories. My other goto snack are almonds, high in fat. Also high in calories so make sure to weigh them out. I eat 2oz of almonds every day, as part of my lunch.
My favorite are blue diamond habanero bbq(not spicy despite the name), dont buy them online though..check your local store first. They are about half the price at my grocery store compared to online.
Another thing I will use as a snack are Quest Protein Bars or Costcos protein bars The costco ones are a lot cheaper but less choices. Both are keto friendly with ~5g net carbs per bar. Eating one of these with a nice big glass of water will usually keep me full for a bit.
Other than that cheeses and meats are good snacks if you like that kind of stuff.
Getting started can be hard but after a couple months everything becomes second nature. My first month was a bit rocky but I just kept reading up on /r/keto and got an idea of things to try out. Good luck!
Well, it totally depends on why you're replacing whey and what your protein requirements are. Whey has a lot more protein than hemp, pound for pound, but that's because hemp also has tons of good fats in it (with omega 3/6/9). This one is good if you're feeling adventurous again. However, it's not powder, so you'll have to blend it. But this is just the pure stuff, no fillers, no flavoring etc. Add this with some frozen fruit and chia seeds/flax seeds in a blender and you got yourself a delicious smoothie.
Magic Chili with Peanuts I can't stop eating it once I open the bag!
We buy these spicy peanuts from the B and T market on Park at Cannon (cause they are all the noms) and are left with a bunch of Szechuan peppercorns after. https://www.amazon.com/Huang-Spicy-Crispy-Peanut-Ounce/dp/B00JY7NR7I
I would be surprised if B and T doesn’t sell peppercorns in their spice section though.
Available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Huang-Spicy-Crispy-Peanut-Ounce/dp/B00JY7NR7I
Also, here's a recipe: https://omnivorescookbook.com/szechuan-spicy-peanuts/
I would like to chime in that the Emerald Dark Chocolate almonds are also GREAT and only have 1g sugar instead of 4g sugar in Blue Diamond's.
Emerald's do cost about 2x's as much as these ($.50/oz instead of $.25/oz). Amazon Emerald Dark Chocolate Roasted Almonds
Careful when you're eating that flavor, they have a few more carbs per serving. For chocolate almonds I like these, they're pretty tasty!
Yeah I just read about it. I think it’s great and the calorie to dollar ratio isn’t that bad.
If you buy this hemp seed heart on amazon
Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts Raw Shelled Hemp Seeds, Natural, 1 Pound https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00856TSCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kw-EAbFYM47A2
Then you’re only really paying about a dollar for 270 calories.
If you buy a 18oz bottle of olive oil for $7, then for every dollar you get around 550 calories (110calories/tbsp).
So in other words it’s twice as expensive as olive oil, but you get a bunch of protein too.
You can get them on Amazon. although it is quite a bit.

Kraut juice would totally be good for electrolytes, it's basically all salt water with minerals. I'm thinking I might try making a batch myself, it doesn't look tough at all.
Yes hemp hearts! They are no net carb, high protein and this delish nutty flavor. I dump 3Tsp (a serving) on my salads. Just as good or better then nuts. Or sometimes just a little handful on my way out the door.
(Yep, I'm good on Vit D. My doc tests it for fertility reasons and I've supplemented for years. It does make a difference for sure)
Look into KIND bars if you have them available. A few of them are Keto friendly and have the benefit of having little in the way of process crap in them.
I love making chia seed pudding the night before. It's super quick and easy. They have a nice mild nutty flavor to them. All you need are storage containers, a measuring cup, and a measuring spoon. Oh and your ingredients of course. You can also make them in mass a few nights before.
The base ingredients are 3 tbsp of chia seeds and 1/2 a cup of unsweetened almond milk. You can substitute a different low carb milk alternative or even a protein shake. I use this Costco shake when I want a more protein heavy meal. You can use protein powders if you'd like. And that's just for the base. You can add nuts, a couple berries, stevia, peanut butter, cocoa powder, etc. There are tons of recipes online on how to augment it.
Macro's for the Chia and Almond Milk base mentioned above:
Cal: 175
Fat: 11.2g
Carb: 2g net (14.2 carb - 12.2 fiber)
Prot: 5.5g
Macro's for just 3 tbsp chia seeds:
Cal:160
Fat: 10g
Carb 2g net (14 carb - 12 fiber)
Prot: 5g
You can add more liquid if you want as well, or less chia seeds. Chia seeds can absorb 9 times their weight in liquid. You can do 3 tbsp to 1 cup or more if you want. It all depends on what consistency you like. Also the longer they soak the more jelly like they turn.
And it's pretty cheap in my mind. This 2 lbs bag is only $10 on amazon. If you use 3 tbsp per meal, that's about 25 meals worth of seed. Or $0.40 per meal. You'll have to add the cost of the liquid to it as well. But there's nothing stopping you from adding water to them instead.
Here's basically how we used to make it at a place I used to work. Downscaling it and using canned beans:
3 cans of beans
1/3 cup of tahini
1/4 cup of olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
3/4 cup of the bean liquid
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
~1 lemon worth of juice.
Dump everything into your food processor, and blend. I have experimented with adding citric acid to make it tastes a little more like Sabra brand. But this is at least a decent foundational hummus. This is my go-to tahini.
The Death Nut Challenge Version 2.0 Carolina Reaper Peanuts new and improved with better flavor, crunch, pepper blends including Ghost Pepper, Moruga Scorpion makes the perfect gift https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KCGYLK7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WCj0DbE1XB861
Bought two of these for me and my girl. Bro they are super hot. I love spices, but this one really got me. I was able to finish them all but I literally was dying all night.
I'm not familiar with tahini prices. Is this a good deal, or should I check local Middle Eastern groceries? https://www.amazon.com/Barons-Kosher-Ground-Sesame-16-ounce/dp/B00B1HL0H8/

I eat these things all the time lol, generally after a workout shake and any time I need a snack. It's probably one of the easiest ways to get protein with low carbs and all the other benefits like the Omegas, etc. Only 3 tablespoons per serving, and I just eat them by the spoonful.
awesome! check out /r/paleo and /r/keto for some advice about how to keep yourself full between meals and how to replace snacks with healthier ones. for instance, i'm a chocolate FIEND but i've found that cocoa covered almonds like these are a healthy alternative.
your diet will have more of an impact with your waistline than exercising. i use exercise to keep myself motivated to diet. i think to myself, why the hell would i want to waste all that time i just spent working out with by eating that candy bar? then i grab an apple.
I just picked up the dark chocolate cocoa flavour in eastern Canada yesterday but did not see this flavour. They are absolutely delicious!!
Refrence link
Here's what I do:
I usually add everything to a little bullet blender (starting with the smaller amounts). Then, I add water in small amounts and blend until the hummus is well blended. Finally, I taste it, and adjust the garlic/tahini/lemon juice/salt until it tastes how I like it. It costs a little more than $1 to make this recipe, and it yields nearly 2 cups of hummus, so it's definitely cheap!
If you're worried about the cost of tahini, I got 32 oz for $10.50 off of Amazon, this one, which is about 31 cents per ounce (2 tablespoons). I keep mine in the fridge.
Found them on amazon!
I got them from a local store earlier today and they have been among the most delicious things I've eaten recently. These will satisfy my occasional chocolate cravings
.38 cents an ounce isn't bad for being shipped right to your door, but typically wholesale goes around for $3-4 a pound, which is around .20-25 an ounce.
But, effort plus grinding when you can get the same (shipped to your door) at .36 an ounce of tahini premade professionally.
I'd go with this instead of manually grinding it. https://www.amazon.com/Barons-Kosher-Ground-Sesame-16-ounce/dp/B00B1HL0H8/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_325_bs_tr_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=0PZ8260E4B103807BTBY
Check these out. Not from Amazon, though -- your grocery store probably has 'em.
Edit: Fuck. I take it back. They contain a small amount of sucralose.
I would have to agree with you, I just finished off the tub I bought a while ago and I'm not going to buy another. I am planing on just making a mix at home and I've found the Hemp here and I'm just going to grab some coco powder and other things at a local shop.
Ooh! I love this game!
PB2 is my jam! I like the chocolate version, but there is a plain peanut butter version too. I love adding it to protein powders that are a little bland.
PB2 different kinds variety pack happy fun time!
I buy my chia seeds in bulk.
Hemp hearts are a great source of complete protein.
This chia, flax cocoa mix is really good with chocolate protein powder.. and chocolate pb2... and on yogurt... etc. Love this stuff. Cheaper in bulk. They used to make a berry version too but I can't find it.
This is the kind of supergreens I use, but there are a variety of flavors so I linked you to the search. I just do the original to keep it neutral.
Have you looked into Soylent? (Not a joke, despite the name.) It's the first 100% complete food replacement. My friend drinks this as a supplement to smaller meals to get all her required nutrition, but you can also just drink this exclusively and not eat. Crazy, right?! In smaller amounts it adds a healthy dose of all the vitamins & minerals you need to a health shake.
Spirulina powder is also really excellent for you and contains a lot of protein.
Chia seeds are so good for you and add a pleasant texture to smoothies & such!
Kale - fresh or powdered is so good for you and honestly does NOT add a nasty veggie taste to otherwise sweet drinks! Same with carrots. It can be especially good with blueberries or blackberries, and carrots are good with strawberries and apples.
Hope this helps!
i buy these raw chia seeds from target and throw them in salads, smoothies, and stuff like that.
If you haven't tried Wasabi Soy almonds, you need to. DELICIOUS!
Whhaat? my favorite variety has only 3 carbs per half cup!
Nuts are very filling, and it's one of the most low carb snacks you're going to find on keto. The only thing lower I can think of are pork rinds and Jerky.
A couple of things that (might) help. Daily I take a "live" probiotic which I really like. I tell my kids they are "body bugs" that live in our guts and help us digest stuff. Here is the one I take.. And, one thing that made me flow like a faucet was adding Chia seed to my morning shakes. My buddy warned me to start slow - did I listen... nope... did I feel the effects, you bet! This is the Chia that I use. When I blend it into my morning shake using a NutriBullet blender and I can't taste them at all. However, when I only use my shaker bottle to make my shake, you can definitely detect the texture - I'm OK with it, but others can't stand bits in their drink.
This stuff is delicious and a good price:
