I get whole flaxseed and grind it with a large coffee mill.

I take 27 g flax, 37 g sesame, 24 g sunflower seed, grind it all and drink it with a scoop of the pea powder (and I do this twice a day). This provides me this 81.3 g protein for just 17.1 g carbs, and it takes care of virtually all of my mineral need (except potassium) and does quite well for my vitamins as well (including 87% of Vit E, which can be a challenge for vegetarians and vegans).


This might strike some people as a pretty weird thing to do, but aside from the pea powder, I'm still consuming whole foods. I'm just using a small kitchen appliance to do the "chewing" for me. There is no way I could get sesame and flax in the amount that I need it if I had to eat it all every day. I could probably just eat the sunflower seeds every day, but for me it's just way easier to grind it and drink it as well. Twice a day and done!

Best of all - even though flaxseed has a small carb content, it has a glycemic load of ZERO since it comes bound up with so much fat, protein and fiber.
