So I just discovered...

[ErikTheElectric]

The wonderful thing that is Xanthan Gum...
And let me tell you, it is Amazing

Put a tablespoon in my shake and it literally was like a giant glob of deliciousness.

Does anyone else use this in anything else? Any recipes?

Thanks

Indeed, I just wish I couldve found this sh*t sooner. It's so awesome

[bballbrett5]

is it worth the extra carbs? like is the thickness so good that it beats just putting honey in the shake or something?

[ErikTheElectric]

Hmm, its like 8g of carbs for a tbspn, So I dont really care haha.

Dude, thats an extra pound of fat every 100 days. Be careful.

Why are your nuts on the table? lol Do they sell this at vitaminshoppe or gnc?

[ErikTheElectric]

Gotta have the nuts with the shake breh!

And as far as I know, they sell it at whole foods, sprouts, ect

Don't get too crazy with it, but if you do, stay armslength from a bathroom. Srs.

Yeah, I was going to say. I shouldve used less.

My stomach isn't doing so hot right now.

I mean, the stuff is essentially fiber right?

Not impressive.
Ask Dustin or brendro, I had a vid, but it's gone now.

I can make a shake so thick that it won't even fall out of the cup when you turn it upside down
NO xanthan either

Using one of these; skim milk + protein powder

Wasn't trying to "impress" anyone, lol :P

But i'd like to see that vid, if you've got a link. That'd be great.

Was that a srs Q you just asked?


Lol, sorry, I didn't mean for it to come across as a 'competition' just saying, that's actually NOT a thick shake. I mean it's still dripping from the spoon.

Don't you find xanthan disgusting? It gives a horrible texture imo. Realllllly gummy.

oh, my bad. I misunderstood you, thought you meant that it got taken down or something.

it aint that bad, Do you recommend anything different?
I heard "Guar gum" is supposedly good. heh

[SOJA]

Guar gum is also a thickener, isn't it? I learned the bloating issue with psyllium husk when I found it made a super thickener for some stuff. 4+ hours later and I wanted to cut my stomach open.

Yea, stuff was reddi whip thick.

I still use like 1/8 tsp of xanthan for my shakes.
