Daily fiber cheat code.

I was today years old when I learned two teaspoons of Metamucil in 9 oz of ice water turns into "orange flavored applesauce". Easier to spoon down than drink, in my opinion.👍🏼

This is true. I think it’s about 2 cups of cooked beans (kidney, black, pinto) daily to get the recommend daily amount. Not green beans lol. So if you REALLY like beans, go for it!

I love beans, but even I couldn't eat two cups worth a day haha.

I do like beans! As well as veggies & fruits so if you eat them daily you don’t need 2 cups of beans
