Add extra fibers but which ones?

[Vernon]

I'm thinking about adding additional fibres into my Queal shakes,
but I don't know which kind of fibre is best suitable because a lot
of them don't mix well with water.

So my question is, what kind of fibre is used in the Queal shakes?

[SilentException]

I've been experimenting with guar and xanthan gum and guar turns out better in the shake. But need to use sparingly otherwise you will end up with a big blob. I also noticed that using blender makes better consistency than just hand mixing. Well, that is true even when not adding anything but especially true when adding fiber. Also have a bag of psyllium husk, have yet to try them but I've heard good things.

Almost all fibre comes from the main ingredients. That is from the oats and soy.
We use xantham gum to make the shakes mix well, but you could use much more of it as a fibre source.

In an earlier version we used to add inulin, but our shakes contain enough (the recommended amount) of fibre already. And compared to the average European diet, it's about 2x as much.

Feel free to experiment, but we think there is already enough in there

I take psyllium caps as the powder/ granules ma de the shake a bit gloopy and most importantly made the cleaning of the shaker a hassle. Yep I'm really lazy

I use psyllium husks with every shake and can certainly recommend them, always one scoop Queal then a teaspoon husk and repeat those steps until the required amount is reached. That way the powders mix nicely and no clumps and no sticky patches appear (no problem with cleaning either). I buy mine at Amazon.de (Nutrix24 brand, 14 euro per kg) because it's way cheaper than most Dutch brands that sometimes even charge 10 euro per 100 grams (!).

I might give that a try - thanks for the detail
