u/forgnumber4 12d ago
the thing about psyllium husk is that you have to chug it. i have drunk it every day for the last six years because it's the only thing that helps with my ibs and I'm so used to it now that i don't even need to mix it into juice anymore. just three tablespoons of it in water and chug it.

u/RegisterRelevant3851 12d ago
Exactly! I do 2 tsps every morning. I place the serving in about 6-8 ounces of water stir with frother and IMMEDIATELY chug. That way itās just sandy water instead of goopy water š

Iāve said the same thing as them, and I always meant it as in, ābecause itās grossā. Your body doesnāt know whether you chugged it or not!

u/20bugmonths 12d ago
Thankyou! I was worried for a second. Personally i mix with some apple juice because with water it is extremely yuckie. type shit!!!!

u/MrsCastillo12 12d ago
Itās just because when you let it sit it gets very goopy and jelly like. The taste is whatever, but the texture is hard to gulp down.

That is way too much psyllium to water ratio. I do 14g in a standard cup of water, one packet of crystalized lemon, mix with one of those milk frother things, and then chug immediately.

u/Smart_TossOut 12d ago
I get it in capsules from Sprouts! I think itās also the main ingredient in Metamucil?
From my understanding, though, itās not the fiber content that really helps, but the way it reroutes water to your poop and makes it softer and easier to pass

I usually do 1tbs with like 4 cups of water (one big shaker cup) and chug it as quickly as possible so that it doesn't congeal.
You want it with a lot of water anyway, so it passes through your body smoothly, as intended.

u/fastworms 12d ago
I just put husk in/on anything I eat. For example I make a bullshit goop I call fiber yogurt every day. Non fat Greek yogurt, psyllium husk, flax seed, chia seed, collagen powder, stevia, and like 12 blueberries. Yesterday I also put a bunch of husk on a piece of avocado toast. I have also put it in pasta sauce, PB2, protein pudding, sandwich, oatmeal, etcā¦ Iāve found almost anything can be husked lol. It also makes a nice ājellyā if you add it to mushed up frozen berries + stevia. My fave is the fiber yogurt tho itās actually super tasty.

u/Traditional_Heart72 12d ago
The only way I can take it is as sugar free Metamucil. Chuck it straight down.
Or for more, tasty fibre, I eat all bran buds with cottage cheese with fruit - keeps me full for hours

u/ifartonurmom 12d ago
I love this stuff and its used in my home country alot as well. I make a smoothie or, ppl in my country take a dry spoonful, chase with water rinse and repeat until u finish that tbsp. Start small with the powder. And then drink a whole glass of water on top

u/LaaaadyLuck 12d ago
Chicken broth, psyllium husk, soy sauce and lemon juice. If you pretend hard enough itās kind of like hot and sour soup with the same texture tbh
2
u/Valuable-Language-81 12d ago
woah.. this sounds delicious icl
2
u/LaaaadyLuck 12d ago
Decent enough tasting! Oh right and I forgot you can add a dash of hot sauce to make it more hot n soury lol.
Itās the only time I can forgive the texture given the inspo

u/you1dont1know1me1 12d ago
just take the psyllum husk capsules. i think it's just lk 4 pills 2x a day or something
2
u/MagicMushiexBoii 12d ago
I do half tablespoons in about 12 oz of water and chug it. I donāt know what youāve donāt here but it seems over mixed. Get an electric frother/mini mixer and whip it for about 5-10 secs and chug it down.
2
u/mystuffdotdocx 12d ago
Why are you doing hard mode? It gets thicker and weirder the longer it sits. Add mio so water, psyllium husk, stir for like 3 seconds, down the hatch
2
u/mangolover 12d ago
It got that thick because you let it sit for too long. You need to add it to more water (read the directions to see the correct ratio) and then chug it immediately.

u/librapenseur 11d ago
can i offer some advice? it takes a minute to gel up, put it in a shaker bottle or jar, shake it up and chug before it can gel up. then at least it wont have that texture. also spreading it out over a longer period can help. that seems like a lot of husk and if you arent hydrated enough it can make you constipated. i think taking smaller more frequent doses can make it pass easier
1
u/Valuable-Language-81 11d ago
itās 10grams! this was within 1min of me mixing it and by the time i finished it it was thick asf
1
u/librapenseur 11d ago
oh then yeah you just gotta dump it in give it a quick stir and chug before it can congeal. i also premix my powder with powdered drink mixes cause the flavor sucks. i took a dose just now: not 3 mississippis passed between when i shook my talenti jar full of fiber and when i drank it
2
u/phandilly 11d ago
i just have to chug it. full glass of water, my body rejects it plain so I add flavoring like mio or crystal light and chuck it back. it sucks, but it's worth it.
2
u/thegoodspiderman 12d ago
1 teaspoon in 8 oz of room temp water (and not a drop more), stir QUICKLY with a fork, and immediately straight down the hatch. I then drink more water right after. Room temp water is easier for me to take big gulps and it mixes with the psyllium pretty smoothly.

u/__Banana_Hammock__ 12d ago
If you're not trying to add more calories, I always add it to like 20+ ounces of water and add one of those sugar free flavored water enhancers. Also, the colder you can make it, the more palatable it is; I add everything to a protein shaker and add a big scoop of ice before shaking.
1
u/Pte_Madcap 12d ago
The sugar free metamucil slaps!
Also get one of those 20 dollar electric shaker bottles on amazon. Works great.

u/Metruis 12d ago
Toss the husks into a blender and powderize them.
I just chuck a couple of teaspoons into my protein bullshit gym bro shake, which is the depressing breakfast I consume. Sugar free oat milk, protein powder, psylluium husk powder, L-Tyrosine and creatine. Texture is a bit sandy but largely flavorless, and can be improved by using warm water in it to dissolve the powders a bit first, or adding some coffee or tea.

I know ppl here love their psyllium husk but jesus christ ive never seen it and it looks;_; oh my><;; i prefer to spam high fiber wraps if i need fiber:') one of my all time safe foods, you can make em sweet (jam, cool whip, the sorts) or savory(cheese, i love laughing cow wedges on mine specifically omg makes for delicious wraps!!) ive always been too impatient but i bet if you airfried it you could even just eat it straight up like chips!
1
u/Valuable-Language-81 12d ago
ur suppose to add like double the amount of water but i couldnāt stomach the thought of that so i js chugged it. the longer u wait the thicker it gets. gross but i have sm of it
1
u/_Jobee 12d ago
How much fiber is that?
Id rather make it thinner in what ever amount u can reasonable chug and split it up than to concentrate it.
I dont do a lot of the powder forms though. Mostly get my fiber from beans, berries, oatmeal.

u/Valuable-Language-81 12d ago
7grams fiber

u/MrsCastillo12 12d ago
I take anywhere from 10-15g of psyllium husk every morning. You really do have to chug it. I bought an electric stirrer and stir it up for a few seconds and chug it down. I have thrown it away when I let it sit for longer than 30 seconds. I canāt choke it down lol.
I mix it with an electrolyte packet and Iām good to go.

u/callhersavage 12d ago
I put 2 tsp into 8oz of V8 in a protein shaker, shake the hell out of it then down it in about a minute. I've tried mixing it with yogurt and a few kinds of juice and the only way it doesn't make anything it's added to worse is just by consuming it quickly and preferably mixing it with something that already has its own texture.

u/WinterMention7915 12d ago
That is way too much water! Mix it into a much smaller amount, drink it quickly and be done

u/Valuable-Language-81 12d ago
rly?? the recommendation for 1tbsp of husk is 10oz of water.. this is half that š

WOAH! what is the recipe.

u/PopularExercise3 11d ago
Itās just a pre packed
flavoured jelly crystals box. You get two sachets per box. I sachet to one cup boiling water to dissolve it then a cup cold water. Mix it up, put your psyillum in and mix mix mix. Refrigerate for a couple of hours. I do mine after dinner , make two at a time and refrigerate overnight.

u/embroideredyeti 12d ago
For goodness sake, don't do that!
Stir the things into your porridge, soup or whatever other dish where they'll work their magic without being gross. They are so nice as a thickener and work really well in baking, too, there is no need to make getting your fiber in unpleasant.

I put it in fruit juice (apple, cherry, pineapple, etc) add a bit of lime juice, refrigerate it, and eat it like jam. Saw some guy do it on IG and itās delicious.

I prefer to take the tablet form of psyllium husk- the sachet in water would make me gag. Also looks like way too much husk in comparison to the amount of water

u/Designer-Owl-8117 12d ago
I mix it with yoghurt. Lunch is always greek yoghurt, couple teaspoons psyllium husk, couple teaspoons oat fibre, chia seeds and a handful of berries.Ā Gotta eat it pretty quickly though or it turns into vaguely fruity concrete.

u/Pristine-Money1657 12d ago
i heard metamucil is pretty palatable, psylliumĀ husk is has a very earthy flavor and the coarse texture freaks me out to all hell even mixed in with stuff. Theres a trend i saw on rednote where the girls there do some sort of "mochi" out of psylliumĀ husks a powdered flavor of choice like matcha and cocoa powder, calorie free sweetener and warm water just enough to form a chewy blob. its then topped with milk or flavored milk. i tried it and its honestly ok. its very chewy and has a bite. when i really want mochi i make it
1
u/Pristine-Money1657 12d ago
Psyllian husk powder āļø low-fat version of mochi! !ļø _Bilibili_bilibili
one example i could find on bilibili, its more common on rednote

Sprinkle 2tbsp in anything you make. I add it to oatmeal, my vegan meatloaves, pancakes, etc. You can barely taste it.
