can i just add this to water, instead of smoothies/food or is it hard to swallow?

If you like to drink dirt, you will be fine. I couldn't even handle it in juice or a smoothie.

Yes you can. That is how I do it. It is a little gritty but it is better if you use more water. I use 30 oz for 3 tbls. By the way it taste nutty. I actually like the taste.

It is ok in water... make sure you do more than 12oz.I personally mix it with Silk Almond milk and it is surprisingly good.

Capsules are so much easier if you don't mind swallowing pills. The packets in water don't taste bad, (lemony, or a bit like fruity pebbles in my opinion), but there is a degree of "choking it down," day after day. If you get packets, I recommend using as little water as possible just to get it over with. The capsules aren't huge, about the size of Excedrin Gelcaps, so i now choose capsules exclusively.

we actually bought capsules and filled them. It was pretty time consuming and messy. We also tried it in our protein shakes after the gym, that wasn't too bad either. I'd suggest mixing it in with your favorite beverage.

I don't know if it's possible, in my opinion. After my first order of this, I decided to switch to the capsules. Same formula in a simple pill rather than gag this down. To use of the rest of this container, however, I mix it in when I make pesto sauce and pasta. Not noticeable then. Also, my toddler doesn't mind it in his smoothies, so I add it to his Strawberry banana yogurt smoothies which is great cause he can't swallow the pills, but is now still getting the healthy benefits.

I add it to our green drink made in the Vitamix. It mixes in well. I suppose you could add it to hot liquids and stir it in.

I don't find the taste at all objectionable. I put it in just enough water to make one good swallow and then drink more water. It's just a few seconds of a strong taste and then life goes on.

I agree with Rebecca. At first you will have some trial and error because you need to decide how thick/thin you need the liquid or food (such as soup, juices, meds, etc). If you want it like applesauce consistency, you will need a couple of the scoop spoons. You do not want to make this up ahead of time. Mix it as needed.

Yes, you can. I would dissolve it in water first, then add it to the water you fill it with.

Hi,I mix it with fresh fruit, almond milk, add to smoothies or simply with almond milk (I don't drink milk, but you can use regular milk).

You should be able to add the whole capsule to 1 tablespoon of applesauce and just swallowing it without compromising the effects. I did that for years with my Mom and Dad who couldn't swallow capsules or pills. Hope this helps.

I don't know if that would work. I would try to put it into a milkshake or a juice blend, not just plain water. I don't know how water soluble this is, or how it might taste.

I love this product, but it does not mix easily with water. You can either make a paste and then dilute it with water, or use a blender to mix it. I prefer the latter method to mix it with milk.

I just dump the desired amount on my tongue and wash it down with water. Just about any liquid (juice, etc.) would do with that method. Never tried mixing it with anything first.

It tastes great on a spoon; I like to just eat it straight from the jar! But to answer your question, it is hard, so it needs to be able to melt (or soften) to spread, so it is good on something like toast. If softened, you could eat it with apple slices or something like that. I find that it is too hard to add to a smoothie, but I have melted it and added cacao, nuts, etc. to make a snack. But really, I just like to eat it plain, straight from the jar.

Yes it's easy, the taste indeed is hard to swallow but that's if you're going raw with like a table spoon and what not i'd do that normally and try to take some honey with it after like a chaser but I always wanted to try it with a smoothie or what ever this dude was saying i'd recommend that for kids assuming the taste would be way better probably not even taste it then

You could, but it's better and easier to use it in food or smoothies as a thickener and get it into your diet that way. Go on Pinterest and lookup THM Glucomannan recipes. There's smoothies, sauces, and puddings. All really good.
