I tried to take it internally but gagged at the texture. Even when I mixed it with water...it was truly nasty.
What do you mix it with to make your smoothies ?

Lol no, no, dont drink it straight
You can add it to anything really. Even juice. It should only be something like a 1 to 10 ratio if I remember right. I always pull out the pamphlet since I have preggo brain often.
With such a ratio and letting it sit for 24 hours it shouldnt really have a texture. Its more of just cloudy/colored water. So if you put it in a drink it might change the color but shouldnt change the texture.
I put it in our fruit smoothies. I just throw in whatever fruit I have, ice, unsweetened juice or water, some mint/parsley/spinach whatever I have handy. I posted a smoothie I accidentely made that tastes like strawberry quick to me if you wanted an exact recipe. I put it in the the doritos thread I started.
Hink also gave me a recipe that it works well in. Its in one of her posts here about a rash she had
let me go look for it. I keep loosing my posts so ill post this, try to open another window, then edit with it.
Here's hinks:
"So here's what I do. I use 1/2 banana, 4 strawberries, a few squirts of cream of coconut (or coconut flakes), pomegranate juice (I'm not sure how much I use, I just pour a little in...maybe 1/2 cup?), handful of spinach, few pinches of parsley, and ice. And it really is soooooo yummy! I think the pomegranate juice really cuts the taste of the greens. Sometimes I use too much parsley and I can taste it, but I still really like it when I can taste the parsley b/c its sorta a fresh taste. "
Here's the other:
-large carton of strawberrys (1lb)
-1 roma tomato
-a handful of the stems,only, of fresh spinach
-1 very small sprig of parsely
-8oz Dannon Activia strawberry yogurt
-about a cup of rice milk (West soy rice beverage)
-large glass full of ice
sweeten with cane sugar
(serves 3 small kids glasses and 2 adults or about 3 1/2 large servings)
Eta: I now use xylitol as a sweetner and for our teeth. I just read in passing somewhere that you shouldnt mix clay and dairy. It didnt say why though?
