anyone out there need some good fish oil? want some of mine?! i have to tell someone how much i love it. you don't have to go out and buy this kind once you're done reading this, but i wouldn't blame you if you did. who knew that cod liver oil could taste better than candy? 
                                keep reading if you care about omega-3 and all that jazz.

so. why am i raving about barlean's organic oils? i wanted to find a way to boost my daily amount of omega-3, both for the baby and my own body, and for me, this is the easiest and most enjoyable way to do it! because let's be real. i don't eat enough fish. and if i'm really honest, i don't like too many kinds of fish. this omega swirl stuff gives you 720 mg of EPA/DHA per serving + omega-6 and omega-9, too. think about all those good fats going to work inside you! and for me, they're going to work building a baby. yessss. it's amazing how much we need them. ever since these bottles arrived on my door step, all bubble-wrapped with cold packs, i can't stop talking about them. first of all, they're so crazy yummy. mango peach, orange cream, and chocolate raspberry?! yes. please.

secondly, it's just so good for you! barlean's omega swirl gives you all the benefits of omega-3 (and more) without any fish burps or weird tastes/textures. it doesn't have all the synthetics that some capsules contain, it's guaranteed pure, pharmaceutical grade oil, and is a lot fresher than anything you'll find on the drug store shelf. you can even see the date it was created stamped on your bottle! it's clinically proven 90% more absorbable than regular fish oil and is made with natural fruit flavors and sweeteners. and the best part is that you will look forward to taking it. i can't wait to stir it into my plain yogurt + bananas everyday after lunch. sometimes if i'm feeling extra indulgent i'll just lick it straight off the spoon.

my favorite flavor is the mango peach. mmmmm. 
i also got some of their flax oil and love that too. (that's the chocolate raspberry stuff.)

thanks for listening to my rave advertisement.
i'm all done now!

Sounds like a good way to get those nutrients. Who knew fish oils came in flavors?

Summer, do you take the omega swirl and the women's at the same time, or do you alternate them? Thanks for sharing, going to pick some up this weekend!

So funny that you blogged on this! I actually live just down the road from this company. We buy our seafood from their company store on site. They are a wonderful local company we choose to support. I had no idea they made fish oil like this. I will definately be stopping by to check it out. Thanks!
