Smile How I Made My Psyllium Drink Taste Okay

Well, this isn't exactly rocket science, but I thought that maybe others here who drink psyllium husk powder in water might be looking for something to make the experience a little more pleasant.

Of course, for those of us in long-term induction, mixing the powder with fruit juice is not an option. The thought of mixing it with just about anything else made my stomach turn. But the flavor of plain psyllium powder in water was getting harder and hard to take.

Then, it dawned on me that my sugarless soft-drink syrups from Nature's Flavors might be the answer. I have found that the NF mandarin orange and kiwi flavors are pretty darned good. So I put a couple of tablespoons of the orange syrup (zero carbs and zero sugar) into my usual dose of psyllium and VOILA!! Major, major improvement.

So, for anyone in induction trying to fight constipation, here's one way of making psyllium husks easier to deal with. For anyone interested, Nature's Flavors is at http://www.naturesflavors.com . By the way, I've tried the ginger and cherry cola syrups, too, but they taste sort of odd to me. Your mileage may vary.
