Hi everyone.
I just got my first acacia delivery. I've read all about how to switch over from my current supplement.
My question is: can I mix it in with water? I drink water all day long, and usually that's the only drink I'll have all day. I know it says it's tasteless, but how is it in water? I hate tea.
The only other drink I have is a smoothie. How would I mix it with a smoothie, since it says to pour it into an empty glass? Can I pour it into the blender with my smoothie?
Thanks!

Hi, you can mix it in any liquid including water and it's tasteless. It's best to start off with 1/4 teaspoon 2 times a day. The teaspoon is a cooking teaspoon with exact measurements.
If you put the acacia in a smoothie it should be okay since other people sprinkle it on other moist foods without problems.

I always drink it straight up in water. No taste. No problem. If going out I mix it in a Nalgene bottle and I'm good to go.

I tried water and it didn't work for me but I know others seem to do okay if they shake it.
I mix it in oatmeal, smoothies (yes, the blender would be fine but be sure you plan on drinking all that's in the blender), applesauce, warm pasta/rice, sprinkled on the miracle whip on my sandwich (you can taste a little but no big deal), and daily...my soyfee (like coffee)...I put the acacia in the bottom of my mug, then pour the hot soyfee in in a circular fashion. It always mixes fine. If ever it doesn't mix in something well, just be sure to use a fork, not a spoon, to mix it up. Hope you like it as much as many of us do!
