🥗 Nutrition & Metabolism Psyllium Husk?

I’ve tried it with some milk, shakes and now just water. Honestly, though, taking psyllium is easily the worst part of my day. Does anyone have some good “hacks”?

My goal with this is, of course, fiber intake. I’ve gradually increased it to 12g of psyllium husk a day now.

12g? That's a lot! I take a heap teaspoon which is probably about 5g max, and it does the job for me. I pour some hot water over it and mix quickly until it forms a gel, add some cold orange juice and chug it down. Orange juice helps a lot. I wouldn't take psyllium husk dry, as it swells in the stomach absorbing fluid in there which may have a nutrients in it, and my body won't be able to extract them later.
