(More customer reviews)With age, my tummy has decided it doesn't like me very much, and this product gives me a nutritious breakfast, that fills me up and is easy on my stomach.
I enjoy this best when I soak 2 Tablespoons of the seeds in a cup of water or milk overnight. It forms into a gel by the next morning. If I've soaked it in milk, I add a tablespoon or so of Nestle's Chocolate Quick, and it tastes a little like chocolate tapioca pudding. If I've mixed it with water, I add a bit of Tang the next morning, and it tastes like a fruity-flavored slush. Sometimes, I also add shelled hemp seeds and/or cocoa nibs for a little more nutrition and flavor. When I add these extras, I also run it through the blender so I won't have to "chew" my shake.
I also like that this has lots of fiber. It doesn't have much taste on it's own, so it takes on the flavor of whatever I'm mixing it with.
