The powder is designed to be stirred into liquids or semi-solid foods. For best results, start by adding a small amount of powder (e.g., half a teaspoon) to your chosen liquid—cold water, kefir, yogurt, or a smoothie works well. Stir vigorously immediately and continuously for 10-15 seconds. Let it sit for a minute or two; the chia seeds and corn husk will begin to absorb liquid and swell, creating a thicker, more uniform consistency. You can then give it a final stir before drinking.
To prevent lumps, never sprinkle the powder on top of a still liquid. Always add powder to liquid, not liquid to powder. Using a shaker bottle with a whisk ball or a small blender can ensure a perfectly smooth mixture. The ginger and cinnamon in the blend help mask any earthy tastes, making it more palatable in plain yogurt or kefir. It's commonly used to create a more satisfying breakfast or a lighter evening meal by adding bulk and promoting a feeling of fullness.
The most critical point: always consume this product with plenty of fluid. Dietary fiber needs water to swell and function as intended. Aim to drink an extra glass of water with or after your fiber drink. Without adequate hydration, fiber can cause discomfort and will not provide its intended benefit of encouraging regular bowel movement.
