Since I got sick the second time using psyllium husk, I have not been able to "stomach" another try. So, that's a BIG decrease in the amount of fiber I'm getting in a day.
Yesterday I bought Benefiber, which is wheat dextrin, gluten free. Two teaspoons contains 15 calories, 3 grams of soluble fiber. According to the Benefactor website, adding it to ANYTHING will not change the taste or texture. I'm going to test that claim by adding it to food.
I've been thinking about trying to make homemade pancakes healthier while keeping them desirable. The more desirable the better. RCUU considers pancakes a special treat, with butter and maple syrup. Since I don't like maple flavor (or syrup of any flavor), I eat pancakes with jam. I plan to treat RCUU tomorrow morning. After I cook his pc's, I'm going to add benefiber, whey, and mashed fruit to the remaining batter and cook up some healthier pc's. I'll let you know if they are eatable, etable, eetable. . . , palatable.
