Found my own way of taking this. I mix into a protein drink. Pour drink of choice (don’t taste it at all in chocolate) into mug. It also helps if the drink isn’t already on the thick side. I use Fairlife which is the consistency of milk. Add powder and mix really well, I use a coffee frother. If drinking immediately, drink fast. I have added some extra ware to thin it when I wasn’t fast enough. Otherwise, set in fridge for a little while and it’s pudding like. There is a little grit to it, won’t lie, but it’s doable for me. And I get my fiber and my protein in for breakfast at one go!

First, regarding the reviews that says this “didn’t work,” this is a daily fiber supplement, not a laxative. It’s not going to clear your colon 15 minutes after you take it. It’s meant to increase the amount of whole dietary fiber since most people do not consume enough fiber in their regular diet.I have tried several different types of fiber supplements from gummies to chewables to capsules to powder form. Although the gummies and chewables generally have a good flavor, they typically only have a fraction of the dietary fiber that this powder supplement contains. And unlike this powder supplement, the gummies and chewables tend to have only one or two sources of fiber and they’re heavily processed and not “whole” food fiber like this one. As for the capsule fiber supplements I have tried in the past (mostly psyllium), they’re okay, but for the most part, they also contain a fraction of the fiber that this supplement has. After all, capsules are small and only contain so much fiber whereas a single serving of this is a pretty big scoop. More on that in a moment.This supplement contains a variety of natural sources of organic fiber. I like that it’s fiber from multiple sources rather than a single source. I think that’s probably better for maintaining the diverse, healthy flora in your digestive tract and more closely matches what a natural diet high in plant fiber would contain. The variety of fiber also adds to the flavor. This tastes sort of like unsweetened cream of wheat or malt-o-meal cereal. If you have ever tried plain psyllium husk, it tastes like sandy cardboard.As I mentioned above, this is a pretty large amount of fiber compared to other supplements. You mix one scoop (probably the equivalent of about 3 tablespoons) with water, milk, or your favorite beverage. You’ll want to mix it with at least 6 ounces of liquid because after a couple of minutes, the fiber absorbs much of the liquid and thickens quite a lot. You can either drink it right after you mix it and before it thickens (that’s what I usually do) or just add a bit more liquid if it gets too thick. It dissolves well in water, and unlike other powdered fiber supplements like plain psyllium, this isn’t Sandy (psyllium only dissolves TPA point). Don’t get me wrong, this still has a thick consistency as it absorbs liquid, and that’s why I referred to it like drinking a glass of cream of wheat. I haven’t tried it in milk or juice. I think it would work pretty well in a juice smoothie or maybe in a glass of milk, but be aware that it will thicken quite a lot. I drink mine at around 10:00 am every day because it fills me up until lunch. It’s about like having a packet of unflavored instant oatmeal as a snack.Pros:Highest fiber content, several different natural sources of dietary plant fiber, decent taste (but unflavored), fills you up.Cons:None, other than if you prefer flavored fiber supplements, this is unflavored and might seem a bit bland.

The first time I had this I realized my milk frother needed new batteries and by the time I got them in and stirred it the fiber absorbed a bunch of water and it was this incredibly thick and hard to drink sludge that I practically chewed so I came here to the reviews to find out how it could possibly be so highly rated but the next day I did what everyone said and mixed it immediately and chugged it right away and it was still perfectly liquid and easy to drink. I’m sure it tastes fine on its own but I mixed in a bit of green apple jolly rancher water flavoring powder to make it tasty and it was great I drink it twice a day. Nothing bad happens with 2 full scoops a day, some reviews said only do half a scoop but a whole one is fine multiple times a day if your diet is not super healthy and high fiber to begin with. It really helps me to feel full pretty quickly after drinking when I usually don’t ever give meals the full 20 minutes to feel full and I keep overeating but if I have a normal sized meal and a glass of this I will be full until the next meal time without any painful fullness or hunger just feeling great all day pretty much. I love that it has so much fiber and so much protein cause my diet really is like a turkey sandwich and a microwave frozen meal or two a day so I could use some macronutrients I can’t get from my multivitamins. Highly recommend, I’ll be buying this one long term.

I loved that this product was organic and full of great fiber. I ended up giving it away though. I did not fully read all the ingredients until purchase and then realized it contains stevia. I was hoping to add it to baked goods. It didn’t workout for me but I do like the company.

I just need it for my health reason, lots of doctors recommended fiber for daily nutrition value. I read reviews and wondered flavor of this product. As an Asian it taste like powder grain we used to drink. When I pour exact amount from spoon in the can, taste was kind more milkish(?)which I didn’t like, I tried with soybean milk , it made enhance the taste. If you don’t like taste it, hoping you try with soybean or almond milk, it gave me more nutty taste

I wasn’t able to try this out for very long, so I can’t really say if it works or not. I didn’t see much in the way of effects the couple of times I did take it, but it might need more consistent use to see results. I gave it a medium rating just because it’s probably beneficial, just difficult to actually work into your diet.I really found it pretty difficult to consume. I’m great at chugging down offensive powdered supplements when I need to but the sheer volume of this that you have to consume makes taking it with liquids really difficult. It thickens quickly in liquids, so you do have to mix it in and chug it down, but the amount you’re taking makes it difficult. I mixed it into lemonade and ended up having to slam two glasses of it, which was not pleasant. When I tried it in water it made me gag, absolutely disgusting. If you take with liquids I’d break the daily dose up into 3-4 glasses of liquids throughout the day. I was would NOT try to take it all at once personally.For reference, the manufacturer recommends 1 scoop once a day, and a single scoop is roughly 2.5 tablespoons. When you get the package you’ll probably think it’s a huge container and it’s going to last you forever but it’s actually only like a 30 day supply because a single dose is such a large volume of powder.If you do want to try this product, I recommend taking it in a shake/smoothie. If you’re a smoothie a day person, great, you’re set. I’d just recommend adding more liquids than usual because this stuff will soak up the moisture and really thicken your smoothie into more of a sludgy.It’s also okay in Greek yogurt; it adds a bit of a nutty taste but it tastes fine. I make a little parfait with the yogurt, granola, and some fruit, and with all those other flavors in that I can’t taste the supplement at all (though again it really thickens the yogurt).The problem for me is that I’ve got these two ways to take the supplement, but I don’t consume those things every day (and don’t want to) but I do need the fiber every day. So that makes it kind of impossible for me to just work it into a daily routine and remember to take it.I’m probably going to be going back to taking high quantities of fiber gummies instead, because at least I can take those easily, and I might save this to use on those days when I feel like a smoothie or parfait. But I won’t buy it again and I won’t reach for this type of product again in the future.

OK….So this is out of the box, but…..This is how I have been mixing Garden of Life Fiber: Instead of using oatmeal in “overnight oats” I use one scoop of GOL fiber mixed with about 10oz of vegan protein and then add blueberries or other fruit, let it sit in frig overnight. Eat like overnight oats and then drink some water. It’s actually pretty tasty and get great results!

First of all, I think this is probably a really quality powdered fiber at least that’s the way it seems. I gave it a three star rating because it really didn’t work for me. I have been Taking BeneFiber in my Black coffee and you can’t see it or taste it. it dissolves immediately. I was trying to come up with a replacement that’s less expensive so I purchased this product. This is not made to be put in your coffee! Or several other things. So in my black coffee, it was a disgusting gelatinous mess. In my cereal it absorbed all of the milk and left me with a pile of mush. In my orange juice, it started out OK but again before I could finish, my juice got too thick to drink. Perhaps it could be used more successful in pancakes or something I would not buy this product again to be used as my daily source of fiber, in fact, it’s basically a lost cause destined to live in my pantry until it’s outdated and I have to throw the $27 worth of blank in the trash. Update: I tried it in a smoothie…Grainy at first but ok. Once again it thickens to the point of being unpleasant. Sorry that I haven’t found any redeeming qualities about this product.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure about trying a fiber supplement. I tried a psyllium husk-based supplement once upon a time and regretted it for weeks after. But, I needed a fiber supplement to add to my breakfast meal-replacement protein shake. I’ve had good luck with other Garden of Life products, and I liked that they use a variety of fiber sources. I was also encouraged by the “gentle fiber” statement considering my last foray into fiber supplements.TASTE: 4/5Weirdly, it’s not the worst. One review said it tastes like hazelnut, and that’s honestly the best way to describe it. I’m used to putting flax, hemp, and/or chia seeds in my granola, so the flavor was nothing new to me. I mix it with a chocolate protein powder and coffee, and it turns into a rich, nutty shake that goes down easy enough. I don’t know that I could drink this straight with just water, but maybe coffee or even milk would do if I absolutely had to. My advice is just to mix it with something else that has a thicker substance and at least a mild flavor rather than try to choke it down with water.BLENDING: 4/5Since I put this in a protein shake, I normally use a blender bottle. I couldn’t imagine trying to stir this powder into any liquid. But in a shaker cup with a whisk ball, the fiber mix is evenly distributed in my protein shake and stays suspended while I sip it down over a half hour or so. I haven’t tried mixing into recipes, but it looks like it would be easy to mix into dry oatmeal for stovetop cooking or overnight oats. Long story short though, if you tried stirring this and got frustrated, try any lidded cup and shaking it instead.RESULTS: 5/5First of all… start slow. I started with half a scoop and am still using just that for my breakfast shake. I imagine using a whole scoop straight off the bat would’ve been uncomfortable. I immediately noticed I felt fuller longer, which was my primary goal in taking this supplement. I drink my shake at about 8 AM and don’t feel hungry until at least noon. Within a week or so I also noticed other digestive improvements, which is just a secondary bonus to this fiber. Note, I drink plenty of water already, but if you are challenged to drink water daily, be extra diligent about staying hydrated if you take any fiber supplements until you know how your digestive tract will respond. I honestly don’t know that I need to go up to a full scoop, but it’s nice to know it won’t have any disastrous consequences if I do.OVERALL: 4/5Yes, the taste can be off putting at times, especially if you’re craving something buttery and greasy for breakfast. Yes, it’s an extra “thing” to put in my breakfast. But for a supplement that helps me stay fuller longer, thus helping me keep my diet lower in calories, it’s worth it.
