I was really excited to try this after reading all the health benefits. Thank goodness a co-worker gave me some to try before I bought any. Tried the first serving with filtered water, eeekkkk, had to gag it down. It tastes like sawdust! I used a magic bullet for 5 minutes to blend it and it still settled at the bottom.2nd serving I used 1% milk and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. Not much improvement.Before I tried it I was going to do the 14-day starting phase. No way I could gag this down 3 times a day for 14 days, let alone ONE day!Really wish it tasted and dissolved better.
