Flours I Use:
- Almond Flour – I rarely use this due to the price but like to have some on hand for crusts.
- Coconut Flour
- Golden Flaxmeal – I usually buy golden flax seeds from a bulk food store and grind my own flax meal in a coffee grinder.
- Gluten-Free Oat Flour
- Oat Fiber
- Oat Flour – I usually grind oats in a blender to make my own oat flour.
- THM Oat Fiber (Gluten Free) (Swanson) or THM Oat Fiber (gluten-free) (THM Store)
- THM Pristine Whey Protein Powder (Swanson) or THM Pristine Whey Protein Powder (THM Store)
- Whey Protein Powder – I like the taste of this protein powder the best of any I’ve tried. It’s made of whey protein concentrate instead of whey protein isolate (which is preferred for THM), but at only 1g carbs per serving, I still use it.

- Erythritol

- THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (Swanson) or THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (THM Store)
