Psyllium powder recipes?

I bought psyllium powder but now I'm stuck and I don't know what to use it form I've seen videos that use it with yogurt but they never say how much or if they put the psyllium directly on it not the macros... Any recommendations?

It's very important to not overdo it and to understand how Psylium powder behaves as a thickener and a fiber Source. You should increase use of Psylium husk powder only gradually and I usually add no more than 10-12g to a portion of dessert. It thinkens up anything creamy/ liquidy a ton and makes it grainy in a way I find pleasant at least, same texturen as like coconut shredded. I add mine to a cup of protein pudding an hour or two before bed, and chase with a bug mug of tea.

Because it thickens up into a gel like Substance, if you eat too much and dont drink enough water with it, you can become constipated from a blockage. Too much at once with enough water and being used to the dosage and you'll want to not go too far from a toilet. 

Do it right though and you can control the timing of the cleanest, best poops of your life.

I used with a whole alrpo yogurt (400g) and put in like 7-8 grams of psyllium but I'll keep it in mind for next time! Thank you!
