Oat Apple Fibre Powder Drink, 204 g Tub

Fibre is the nutrient almost everyone says they will get round to. Oat Apple Fibre makes it a spoon job: 5 g of fibre in one scoop, from six plant sources.

About

The blend combines apple, oat, maize, citrus, chicory and soya fibres, so you get both soluble and insoluble types. Oat grain fibre contributes to an increase in faecal bulk. It is sugar free, with 0.1 g of naturally occurring sugar per serving, and has no artificial sweeteners.

The NHS recommends adults aim for 30 g of fibre a day. One scoop covers a sixth of that. Pair it with a Formula 1 shake or find it with other drinks in tea and drinks.

How to use

1. Shake the tub. A gentle shake loosens settled powder.
2. Mix. Stir one scoop (6.8 g) into 150 ml of water.
3. Or add it. Blend into a Formula 1 shake or stir into morning oats.

Increase fibre gradually and drink plenty of water alongside it. Store with the lid closed, cool and dry.

30 servings. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Allergens: contains oat and soya, shown in bold on the pack.

Frequently asked questions

Soluble or insoluble fibre?

Both. Apple, citrus and chicory inulin bring soluble fibre, while oat, maize and soya fibres add insoluble types.

Why start slowly?

A sudden jump in fibre can cause bloating. The NHS advises increasing intake gradually and drinking plenty of fluids.

Does it taste of apple?

Yes, a sweet apple flavour from flavouring, with no artificial sweeteners.

Can I mix it into hot drinks?

Herbalife gives directions for water, shakes and oats. Thickeners in the blend mean hot drinks may turn thick quickly.

Is it gluten free?

Herbalife does not label it gluten free, and it contains oat fibre. Check the pack if you avoid gluten.
