Should have heeded other reviews. Doesn't mix with water!
I bought this as a substitute for Metamucil, because Metamucil is just TOO darn sweet, and the orange flavor is overwhelming. I ran into the same issue with this product as some others have. When I try to mix it into water to drink, It forms insoluble clumps and clods. I've tried warm water, cold water, adding water to the powder, and adding powder to the water. I stir vigorously as soon as I mix with water. But what I end up with are large clumps of gummy material that simply won't dissolve or mix with water. I've tried to crush those clumps with the back of a spoon, but they slide away. I tried using the back of a fork. Sometimes they get smaller, but they sure don't mix with the liquid. So, if you're looking for a drinkable fiber supplement, this is NOT it. Maybe it's designed for baking rather than mixing (?). But if that's the case, I missed it in the description. In fact, the description says... "Add 1-2 Teaspoons to a full glass of water, smoothies and more!" If there's a way to mix it, I sure can't figure out what it is! Disappointing. I guess it's back to Trader Joe's for unsweetened psyllium.
