Psyllium husks as breakfast?!

[susieb]

Hi,
It sounds like the right stuff,it's a bit like fine bran,so I suppose you could say it's powdery I mix mine up with slightly warm tetra and keep stirring until it thickens and the lumps disappear.It reminds me of sago(we used to call it frogspawn at school! )I don't mind the texture,but I can see why some people couldn't stomach it!I hate it in the soup though,makes me feel sick:sigh:

Does anyone know if the P. Husk powder is the smae becuase if you put this in a shake the texture is unaltered really probaly a little bit thicker think Mcdonalds milk shakes. Not gloopy at all , but as I have only had it last night and this morning dont know if the 'results' at the other end are as good if you know what I mean!

Hi,
I put one teaspoon in soup shake and blend. It thickens it just enough to eat with a spoon. To make porride I shake 2 dessertspoons on top of hot shake and whisk with a fork. If you put more than a teaspoon in blender it is like wallpaper paste. You need to experiment. Oh - and don't leave it to stand because the husks absorb more water and it is disgusting!
Worth te effort to go regularly LOL !!!
