Psyllium Husks Morning Protein Smoothie

Psyllium is derived from the plant Plantago ovata. Psyllium seed husks are indigestible in human beings and are often used as a source of dietary fiber. Psyllium seed husks are portions of the seeds of the plant Plantago ovata, a native of India, Iran and Pakistan. Psyllium seed husk is essentially one of the greatest all-natural sources of soluble dietary fiber.
