Yep, I buy the big jug of sugar -free orange Metamucil powder and put a rounded tablespoon into a 12 ounce glass. Stir as I pour in the water, so it won’t clump up, and chug it down quickly because it’s more powder per water than recommended and will form a spoonable gel if it stands Which is okay if you’re into that, I’ve eaten it that way, but I’d rather get it down and follow it with a glass of something I like better. I have wondered about making something similar to boba pearls with it. The box of packets is more expensive but at least you could add one to a glass of water in a restaurant and drink it politely.
Do you mean something like “Bean-o,” or could Metamucil (psyllium husk fibres) work? Just about everyone needs more fibre in their diets, after all.
Metamucil works well.
Unless I’m missing something, they’d also be much more cost-effective than the pills. (those containers are BIG)

Beano is enzymes that help you digest. I meant fiber pills like psyllium husk.
