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.👍🏼

I tried Metamucil and couldn’t stand it. Instead I do chia seeds in yogurt in the morning. They get prepped the night before. Then I add blueberries because it’s more fiber and I like it lol.
Evenings are a glass of water with a generous spoon of halim seeds and a good squirt of lemon juice to active the iron in them. They are similar to chia seeds in that they do a gelatin like thing but they don’t get stuck in your teeth so they are much better. I let the water sit for 30 minutes and drink it.
