- 4 tbsp. cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- ½ cup hazelnuts toasted and chopped
- ½ cup hazelnut spread (I like Nutella)

To get it ready to serve just put it in the microwave for about a minute or so on 50% power.

Fiber Drink Recipes
Remember: Natural psyllium fiber suspends in liquid – it doesn’t dissolve. If you’re using the maximum dose of a fiber supplement like Konsyl Original, shake with liquid in a cup or jar with lid. You can also use a blender, stick mixer (immersion blender) or handheld latte foamer.
Mixing Tip: For maximum palatability, add ice cubes and use a blender. Drink immediately after mixing. Note: If you're just starting your fiber therapy, use only 1/2 teaspoon for the first few days then gradually increase your fiber intake.
Make Your Own Cocktail
Try your favorite beverage or a flavoring with water, like an individual-size sugar-free drink mix packet or a shot of flavored coffee creamer. Anything except hot or carbonated beverages should work. Carbonated beverages should not be shaken, because they will erupt. Hot liquids are not recommended for two reasons:
- Hot liquids could splatter if shaken in a closed container.
- You may not be able to drink the mixture quickly, before it begins to thicken, due to the temperature of the liquid.

Jason emailed us: "This works so well for me because I am lactose intolerant and I would love to have a glass of milk that I cannot have. My little milkshake takes care of milk cravings and works a bunch of my sweet tooth desires away."
In a cup with strong lid add:
Shake the mixture like a wild animal, and then drink it down. It is nice and thick, cold, and vanilla flavored -- a lot like a vanilla milkshake. Jason says: "After a year of using this magical stuff, I am a changed man!! I just cannot believe that this product was all I needed. I am extremely thankful for the new life that Konsyl has given me and my family. THANK YOU KONSYL, THANK YOU!!!!!"
Mary from Midlothian, Texas gave us her recipe: "I am almost 62 and have had strenuous workouts 7 times this week alone. I attribute most of my energy to the Konsyl regimen I have used for the last 5 years. I have a Konsyl fiber supplement cocktail mixed with Plum Juice (light version) 3 times every week. I think I bore people singing the praises of this product."
