WHAT REBECCA SAYS
For me, the flavored flaxseed oils did the trick of making the whole idea at least sound feasible. (See Barleans Flavored Flaxseed Oils for more details... available in cinnamon and lemon flavors.) So I see the "Swirls" as taking that same user-friendly concept a few steps further. Basically the Swirls look like a smoothie and as far as texture and taste goes, I have no problem at all taking them straight off the spoon. Never yet done that with any oil, even the flavored ones. To give you an idea just how user-friendly these are, when I pulled the bottles out of the fridge to read the labels while writing this up, my 5-year-old was at my side in an instant with a spoon asking for some. Actually, truth be told, she wasn't so crazy about the strawberry banana the first time she tried it but she likes it now.
What are they like? Well, they look like smoothies and the texture is fine. The flavors are not nearly as subtle as the flavored oils, but then, they need to be strong for this kidn of use.
Personally... I have never in my life liked anything in "strawberry banana" and no Omega 3 is going to change that. So I can't offer you an unbiased opinion of the flax version. Plus I love my cinnamon and lemon flax oils so much nothing will make me give them up. But if you like that flavor, they're definitely worth a try.
Now as regards the "Lemon Zest" fish oil swirl, well, as I mentioned in my blog I taste-tested that one under the mistaken impression that it was just another flaxseed oil. I hardly knew whether to be amused or appalled to find, when I got around to reading the label, that I'd just drunk a spoonful of fish oil! I had no idea! I mean there was no fishy taste or aftertaste or... fishburbs... nothing. Nada.
To give you an idea of the flavor, when my daughter first tested it she was absolutely insistent that it was made of melted starbursts because it tasted exactly like a lemon starburst. I would agree with that. So it's a considerably stronger, and less natural-tasting if you know what I mean, lemon flavor than the lemon flax oil, but again, it probably has to be to mask the fish so effectively. I would have no problem taking a spoonful of that daily. At present I'm just contemplating adding a teaspoon to my daily regimen. Purchase Barleans Omega Swirls
