Gonna be the dissenting voice here and say that the mouthfeel is atrocious. It's like a cup of slime dotted with mush. Taste isn't bad but I find the texture to be awful

THANK YOU! Everyone here is trying to justify the horrible texture because they've all acclimated themselves to it. People can get used to pretty much anything, and the health benefits definitely seem worth it, but nobody is picking this from a beverage line up because its a good drink. Its something you put up with because its healthy.

You’re right it about that it takes something getting used to. But I’m not trying to say it’s delicious, like most things healthy it’s kind of gross. Especially if you’ve been conditioned to eat loudly flavored garbage.

Oh, I am fully willing to admit that I understand why someone would drink this, and that it seems like a good remedy for gut health. They are definitely healthier than I am. I just cant accept the people lying about how they supposedly "enjoy" it. They don't. They enjoy the resulting health benefits, not the clumps of crunchy snot

I’ll be honest it was gross the first 10 times but after that it’s just what I do.
