You're absolutely right. I've had a spot of trouble finding a source of fiber that won't expand and turn my version of soylent into a gelatin.

I tried Metamucil packets a while back to help alleviate side effects of the antidepressants I was on, and the trick with those was to drink them reasonably quickly after you added water, before they turned into gel. With the single-serving packets, you could try adding the fiber right before drinking.

maybe flaxseeds? they were used in a smoothie in this video at about 1:30

also while having more than 5g is a good idea i doubt you need as much fiber as the RDA since it assumes you're eating food
