Got any psyllium husks??

mommysue · 10th October, 2007

no but can get some ....... mix them with vanilla ????

spooky · 10th October, 2007

mix them with whichever you want really, I had toffee and walnut porridge this morning!

Russiandoll · 10th October, 2007

This is how you make a lump-free porrige ...

Around 300/350ml of very hot water (not just boiled)
One pack of CD shake (toffee & walnut / vanilla / banana all work well ... choc isn't TOO bad)
Mix up as usual and pour into a bowl.
Add powdered psyllium husks to taste (I use about 3 teaspoons - some people use less)
Mix in briskly with a fork or small balloon whisk until the mixture is smooth.
I sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of mine - yum!
Eat and enjoy

mommysue · 10th October, 2007

mmm will give that a go. thank you

Russiandoll · 10th October, 2007

You just have to be aware that it won't be 'Scott's porrige oats' but just an approximation ... more like semolina really. But when you're hungry it really hits the spot.

Have psyllium husks got calories or carbs in? and can we have this 'porridge' when doing SS or not?

Hey just noticed my tracker - I've got less weight to get rid of than what I've lost on CD now (but only just). Yeah - way to go!

No calories, no carbs. Its just digestive fibre and passes straight through. Good news if that side of things is a bit <ahem> troublesome!

and its ok to use on SS

Sweetpea · 12th October, 2007

Where do peeps get their psyllium husks from (the pure husks, not the tablets)?

Do any pharmacists or high street shope sell them?

Gill-cdthing · 12th October, 2007

im going to have to try this, as i need something i can face at breakfast, can we use sweeteners in it too, ?

Lighterlady · 12th October, 2007

Where's the best place to buy psyllium husks? I know you can get them in health food shops, but I assume they'd be wierd about you buying them in bulk?!

Mrs V · 12th October, 2007

Psyllium Husks Digestive Fibre - 300g tub

Try this link, as this is the cheapest that I have found for them. Holland & Barrett do a tablet form, but they range from £11.00.
You can have sweetner if you want, but in tablet form and not powder. My advice would be to stir it in with the water to dissolve before you add the shake and the husks.

I haven't made any yet, as my husks are on order, but I can't wait!!!

Lighterlady · 12th October, 2007

Thanks! Will order some now! Are canderel sweeteners ok to use?

Sweetpea · 12th October, 2007

Would it need to be sweetened if you are using your shake mix? or do you normally sweeten those too?

I actually find the shakes very sweet so presume asding the husks might tone the sweetness down a touch.
