North Coast Naturals Daily Cleanse is an unflavoured fibre blend made from ground seeds and whole grains, with DE111 probiotics. One 16 g scoop has 7 g of dietary fibre, 2.5 g of omega-3 and 60 calories, and the 1 kg pouch holds about 62 scoops. Two scoops, the amount the pack front is built around, give 14 g of fibre.
What is in the pouch
The ingredient list has seven items: ground 100% Canadian flax seed, psyllium seed husk, organic quinoa powder, organic chia seed powder, organic pumpkin seed powder, organic sprouted brown rice powder and the probiotic Bacillus subtilis DE111. There is no sweetener, flavour or added sugar, and the Nutrition Facts table shows 0 g of sugars.
Per scoop the fibre splits into 4 g of soluble and 3 g of insoluble fibre. Flax and chia supply most of the fat: 4 g per scoop, of which 2.5 g is omega-3 and 0.5 g is omega-6. Each scoop also has 2 g of protein, 100 mg of potassium and 40 mg of calcium.
A food-based fibre blend
Many fibre products are a single isolated fibre such as psyllium or inulin. Daily Cleanse mixes six seed and grain powders, so it brings omega fats, a little protein and minerals along with the fibre. North Coast Naturals lists it as low-FODMAP. It has a mild, nutty taste and thickens as it sits, like chia pudding.
The pouch is moving to a new design; the brand states the formula is unchanged.
How to use it
Mix one to two scoops with 250 to 350 ml of water, milk or juice, or blend it into a smoothie. It can also be stirred into yogurt, oatmeal, cereal, muffin batter or soup. Drink at least a full glass (250 ml) of water each time, as the label directs. Once opened, keep the pouch in the fridge and use it within 6 weeks. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Who it suits
It suits people whose meals fall short of the fibre Daily Value and who prefer seeds and grains to a single-fibre powder, as well as vegans looking for plant omega-3. It is made without animal products, gluten, yeast or sulfites, in a GMP facility that also handles milk, soy and fish (collagen).

Have been using this product for years now. Any time I make a high protein smoothie I know it will always need more fibre even though I pile on the berries. This makes it complete.

Great product
I like that it is low fodmap, includes omegas, and also probiotics. You need to drink it with a lot of water and quickly. Otherwise, it gels. Good product. I've ordered it over a few years and the quality is consistent.

Great Fibre source.
Switched to this over metamucil, easy to mix into cereals, shakes etc. And a better nutrition profile over regular metamucil.
