Psyllium husks

  • I tried psyllium husks for the first time yesterday. Per the instructions, I mixed 2 tbsp in 10oz of water. YUCKO.

    Does anyone have any good ideas for consuming this stuff in a more palatable manner? Do you add it to food or another beverage?

    On the positive side, I definitely felt FULL after consuming the stuff! It really helped curb my appetite! Does anyone use it for this?
  • My advice is to drink it quickly . I've heard others say they mix it in a shake. Honestly, I don't want to ruin my food by mixing that into it, which is why I take it by itself. It definitely gives you that fuuuuuulllll feeling doesn't it, but I don't take it for that. I take it for the extra fiber.
  • Bleck! I've tried that too! A little in other things doesn't effect the taste much. A shake, a bowl of oatmeal, probably even sprinkled on a salad in the dressing would be OK.
  • Thanks for the ideas! I snuck some into my oatmeal and didn't even notice it!
  • we get the plain kind from the Indian store.

    i mix it in oatmeal or yogurt or cottage cheese. my husband likes it mixed in a cold glass of lemon water with salt and sugar...
  • I get it in capsules

    I do as well. I don't think I could stomach the powder. I used to drink Super Greens, and although I did good for awhile, I couldn't force myself anymore.
