Summary
This protein powder features a blend of pea protein and milled golden flaxseed, both of which are minimally processed and provide nutritional benefits such as a good amino acid profile and omega-3 fatty acids. The inclusion of medium chain triglycerides from coconut oil adds a quick energy source. However, the product contains multiple gums and maltodextrin, which are common additives in protein powders but can detract from the overall formulation quality.
