I am replacing my many capsules (Omega 3, CLA, and EPO- 6 total) with Barleans. I just took it for the first time today and YUCK! I took it straight off of a tablespoon.
For those of you who take this stuff, how do you make it more tolerable? It is much easier than taking all the huge capsules, but it tastes like ...well...yuck! I thought maybe mix it with a tsp of peanut butter...? I am also dieting so I don't want to add too many calories. |

That is why I take my Whole Food Greens in caplets rather than powder, to me I would rather swallow pills any day over drinking what tastes like swamp water no matter what I try to mix it in!  |

Some people manage it, but I have even tried V-8 (health food store version) which I love and it just tastes to horrible to me!  |

| If there's a choice between powder and pills with any supplement, I always go for the pills. I haven't met a powdered supplement I like yet. |

I used to mix the Barlean's in with yogurt which I would eat with cereal. Very tolerable that way.  |

Are these what you take the greens? Wow those are very similar to what I tried and now take in caplets!

No, it's the Barleans Essential Woman product that I am referring to: http://www.barleans.com/essential.asp
bullet875, I forgot, there is also an Essential Woman Swirl version that comes in a Chocolate Raspberry Flavor that you might find more palatable: http://www.barleans.com/essential_woman_swirl.asp |

Thank you Havana,
I did not want that to be confused with the "Greens" which I know some manage, yet are extremely distasteful to me! |
