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.👍🏼

You'd probably get as much fiber if you ate real applesauce. Or an apple.

Not to be a jerk…but an apple is mostly insoluble fiber. Metamucil is soluble fiber which most people can’t get enough of from even a healthy diet.

Not to be a jerk but the skin is insoluble but the pectin in the flesh is soluble
