I don't think you get the same results with psyllium capsules.

I use Psyllium powder I get from Natures Sunshine. It has hibiscus in it also. I mix about 3/4 cup apple juice, 3/4 cup water, 1 teas. psyllium powder & 1 TBSP Bentonite and shake, shake shake. It tastes great !! Sometimes if I feel like I'm getting stuffed up I also add about 1/4 cup of aloe vera juice. Depending on how many shakes I'm drinking I keep the aloe vera to no more than about 1/2 cup total per day.

I'm not real into making myself miserable....so I get pretty creative.

I have taken the idea of mixing caprylic acid in shakes a step further and used raw apple cider vinegar (1 tsp.) and it was surprising how much easier the shakes went down. And the raw apple cider vinegar has benefits for your body. It is an anti-fungal because it turns to malic acid in the intestines which prohibits the growth of candida (or so I understand). Another time I got wild and crazy and mixed in a couple drops of Oil of Oregano because it is anti-fungal,bacterial and viral and I thought it would really get pushed into my intestines this way. It definitely changed the taste of the p&b shake, if you like Italian you might like this.

Ultimately the best tasting product I have used is Flaxium by Bio Active Nutrients it has flax and psyllium mixed together and it had an almost sweet taste to it. I really liked this product but due to finances I had to go with the plain stuff this time. You can find more info out about it at http://www.bioactivenutrients.com - I have no ties to the company, just have seen it advertised with Your Health with Doug Kauffman, a show I like to watch.

What about mixing in some fresh lemon juice? I haven't tried it but it sounds refreshing to me. Oh and try to throw it to the back of your throat while swallowing it, I try to avoid the front of my mouth with it and keep it going straight for my throat.

Hope you can keep chugging the p&b the benefits far outweigh the nasty taste :o).

I use about6 oz. of dole pineapple juice (can)and mix 2 to 4 oz. of very cold water into it. I then put 1 tablespoon of the clay and mix. I put a new straw into the glass and then I add the 1 tsp of psyllium to this mixture which floats to the top of the glass, so I stir and stir really quick and then with the straw I drink the mixture down at once, stopping just long enough to breath......(smile)well, with a straw you cant really taste the shake to much and though i have tried many juices and do use apple cider also I find that the pineapple juice masks the entire flavor of the psyllium and Bentonite clay better than the other juices. I usually do two shakes a day ( i want to do more) and still get out the ropey yucky stuff every morning. Blessing to you, Sherry

I have been drinking the p/b shakes for over a week now. I pour about a third of a glass of organic apple juice into a glass. Add a tablespoon of the liquid clay, and then fill with water. Sometimes if you add too much psyllium, it gets really thick, but otherwise it goes down pretty easily.

Be careful that you don't overdo the psyllium. A teaspoon or two of psyllium does not seem like a lot, but, it is powerful stuff. It can realy stop things up if you over do it.
