Notes
- Use whole psyllium husks: They create the best jelly-like texture. If using psyllium powder, use about 2 ½ teaspoons instead of 1 tablespoon.
- Whisk while sprinkling: Add the psyllium gradually while whisking continuously to prevent clumps.
- Adjust the sweetness: Start with 1 teaspoon maple syrup and add more to taste, depending on how tart your cranberry juice is.
- Drink plenty of water: Psyllium absorbs a lot of liquid, so be sure to drink a glass of water with or after enjoying this recipe.
- Increase gradually: If you're new to psyllium, start with a smaller serving and increase slowly over several days to allow your digestive system to adjust.
- For cholesterol support: Aim for about 1 to 2 tablespoons of whole psyllium husks daily, divided throughout the day if preferred, as part of an overall heart-healthy diet.
