Linwoods Flaxseed Blends are tasty, healthy and delish. Ten lucky readers will a $35 Lindwoods Gift Pack—enter soon!
Flax is your friend. If you’d like to try and win two full-size packages of Linwoods flaxseed blends plus a t-shirt ($35 value), be sure to enter our Linwoods Gift Pack Giveaway contest!
I’m a big fan of flax and use it in myriad ways. In fact, you will ALWAYS find ground flax in my refrigerator or freezer (stays fresher that way). What’s so good about flax? It’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids (which most of us don’t get enough of), is a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber (again, most of us can use more), it boasts a wide range of vitamins and minerals, and provides lignans—natural compounds that convey some heart-health benefits and also may play a role in preventing some hormonally-related cancers.
I received samples of Linwoods flaxseed blends and other Linwoods “super food” products in the mail to try out at home. Since I was a fan of flax prior to receiving these products, it wasn’t too hard for me to think of ways to try these flaxseed blends. The easiest way I use them is to sprinkle them onto my yogurt or cottage cheese. If I’m baking, I nearly always use ground flax as part of the flour mixture—just ask my kids (when they were little they used to wonder aloud why pancakes at our house were always “more brown” than those at their friends’ houses)! Anyway…Linwoods flaxseed blends are nutrient-dense—they combine the ground flax with thing like nuts, seeds and berries. Think of them as a convenient way to boost the “health status” of foods you already eat. Try adding them to your hot cereal, combine them with the other ingredients in your homemade granola, or stir them into soups, casseroles and grain-based side dishes or salads. Need more ideas? Check out the recipes on the Linwoods website. All Linwoods blends are gluten free, GMO free, dairy free, yeast free, vegan and have no added sugar.
Based in Northern Ireland and established in 1965, Linwoods is a family owned company whose products are sourced in their raw form from around the world. Linwoods products are found in the U.S. in select supermarkets and specialty foods stores including Whole Foods.

I have never tried flax seeds but i have heard that they are extremely good for you I would add this to baking and to my soups. Would love to win this to try .
Sounds like it would make a yummy addition to my protein shake in the morning.
I would use this in baking.
I use flaxseed on cereal and in muffins. Posted above article to twitter @meatkills.
I have been wanting to add flaxseed to my diet as at 60 I am just needing more energy and the anti-inflamatory benefits. I have watched the infomercial for the NutriBullet and they recommend adding flaxseed to their “blasts”. I tasted one at my daughter-in-law’s house and really liked it so I think it might work for me. Also it sounds like I could add a spoonful to almost anything I am going to eat, which is a great convenience. Swallowing supplement pills is difficult, and who knows if they even work? But adding this to my food would be easy and it is real food! I like you on FaceBook and read your email ever day, and I like Linwoods superfoods on FaceBook. I do not tweet so strike out there, but I would really like to win this. Thank you all for the opportunity.
I use flaxseed in protein smoothies and sometimes oatmeal. I have never used a flavored flax but I am always game to try new things! Trying to loose weight and cut calories and finding foods that are healthy and satisfying, yet still taste good, is sometimes a challenge.
I would use Linwoods Flaxseed blend products by I would love to try this, I have so many good things about flaxseed being so healthy for you so I would start out by becoming more healthier and to gain my energy back after those long, hard work days!!
Would use it on any food that it would go with.
i use flaxseed all the time, as a grain substitute, in smoothies, and to replace oils in recipes. and when i was a little girl we got our mail from a tiny little post office in a tiny little town called linwood. it’s like it’s meant to be;)
I would use Linwoods flaxseed products to be come a healthier woman
Would love to get this-I love flaxseed but sometimes find it hard to dole out and the combination of great flavors and convenience gets my vote!
I would love to try this Linwood flax seed mix in my mini blueberry bran muffin recipe. Usually I use plain ground flax seed!
YUM YUM YUM … I LOVE flaxseed in my fat free plain greek yogurt. So healthy & absolutely DELICIOUS! I can’t imagine how scrumptious it would be with the addition of cocoa, strawberries, and blueberries!!!
Try them for a better helth
Well to be honest, not really sure. I have never had Flaxseed before. This all new to me and just learning. So I guess I will follow ur lead and use it just about everything. Use in my baking, my kids love pancakes so use it there, I guess try it anywhere and everywhere.. Would really love to give this a try. Thanks for the giveaway and all the nutritionally info I get from the site..
The blend of flax, cocoa, strawberries and blueberries sounds perfect mixed into a greek yogurt or a smoothie!
I love flax and also use it everyday in my smoothies and baking, just as you said I always have the seeds + ground flax on my freezer!

I saw these at a store recently and wondered about them. This would be a great opportunity to try them. A recent member of the GF/LC club, and always anxious to try new ways to add flavor. I’d probably add these to smoothies, or to some of the baked goods I’m trying!
I would use it on my yogurt and in soups. Looks great.
Love berries, nuts and cocoa! Will definitely add it to my yogurt and cereals. And your pancake idea is a great one too!
I am already trying to incorporate flaxseed into my diet with vitamin supplements, I would definitely like to experiment with other alternatives.
I use ground flax instead of eggs in a lot of recipes. Linwooods flavor and nutrient combo would go great in pancakes, or on top of a kale salad!
I would like to use it in my morning cereals, oatmeal, or maybe even in smoothies,
I use flax in my oatmeal every day. I would love to add variety with Linwoods blends!
I would add it to my farina!
I would add this to my yogurt. I am slightly allergic to eggs and Oatmeal, so I now have limitations on breakfast foods available. This would help greatly.
I would use this to cereal, smoothies and yogurt!
I would use the flax in homemade breads, muffins, pancakes, and smoothies.
I would use them as a topping on home-made yogurt!
Thanks for sharing Linwoods facebook page so I can follow them. I love the cocoa & berries. I have it in a salt/spicer shaker so I can sprinkle it on everything. It is especially good on toast or bagels with peanut butter. It would be fun to win another flavor so I can share with my daughter who doesn’t like chocolate. She uses the plain flax seed in smoothies.

I would love to try this. I am trying to eat healthy. I have a daghter and I want her to see me always eating healthy. I would add the flax seed to my oatmeal, and fruits I eat for breakfast. I shared a receipe on facebook.
I think I would start off trying it on my cereal. I bet it would be good in yogurt too. I signed up for the e-newsletter and “Liked” Appetite for Health on Facebook. Also, ”Liked” Linwoods Super Foods on Facebook, too, I am sharing via Facebook, twitter as @jenesparza, LinkedIn, and Google.
I would use it in oatmeal.
I already put chia seeds in my oatmeal, so I believe that adding flax would give it even more nutritional value! Oh and I add some blueberries! I would love to give it a whirl for free before buying it! I would love to learn to add it to other food as well!
I would use it on salad.
I would mix this into baked goods and muesli.
I pinned a Personal Paleo Diet Experience at http://pinterest.com/pin/126030489544346488/
It seems great for oatmeal or yogurt! Or really anything, maybe some baked breads?
I’d add it to my morning smoothie.
I would simply add a scoop to my smoothies.
I used the cocoa flax seed in my son’s birthday cake. And added another to my oatmeal. I love this stuff!!!
I think that they are great for so many things…baking-any kind of muffins, breads, cakes, brownies, etc. Also, for morning cereal or oatmeal, or pancakes, or waffles.
I think the quickest is to incorporate it into a shake. If I have more time, making some baked goods with this product sounds like a healthier alternative.
I put Linwoods on almost everything especially the cocoa one…on yogurt, cereal, smoothies and even when on my pancakes, banana bread or any bread I make… Love it!!!
