*I use
Konjac Foods brand glucomannan (from
Amazon or
Netrition). Different brands can vary in strength, so if you're using a stronger brand like the
Trim Healthy Mama brand and think the drink is slimy, try decreasing the amount of glucomannan. (Or just learn to embrace it and enjoy it for all its health and weight loss benefits.) This amount in the brand I use is not slimy but does make the drink fairly thick and foamy. It's so filling!
-You could add some
coconut oil for a THM S drink if desired. If you use a teaspoon or less, you're still in Fuel Pull (Low Carb/Low Fat) territory.
-Want a THM E drink? Add a few wedges of peeled orange in with the cranberries!
-I like to make this in a huge mug with an
immersion blender for minimal cleanup and no risk of pressure buildup. If you don't have an immersion blender, use your
regular blender but be careful and vent the blender as needed to avoid a pressure buildup and possible explosion.
-This drink will thicken as it cools, so I don't recommend making it ahead and refrigerating it unless you want a gluccie pudding.
