Has changed my life. Seriously....

Stuff is amazing - fills you up, keeps you regular, and kicks perimenopause's ass! You have to count the calories, but benefits far outweigh costs.

Just thought I would share.

Thanks. I used to put it into my granola but ran out. I will get some more to just put on my yogurt

I have thought about getting some. I've seen it at the Bulk Barn. How much do you use? And when? Nutritional content??? TIA
