Hi Bekka
I have taken brewers yeast for over a year. Unfortunately it's recently disappeared from my supermarket shelf so I havn't had any for over a month now. Your post has reminded me to follow up with my supermarket manager to see whether they will be getting new supplies soon.
I must admit that brewers yeast is an acquired taste. Initially I had great difficulty eating it but then a funny thing happened. I actually started liking the stuff!! I would suggest building up the amount you take very slowly.
I started by sprinkling a little over my breakfast cereal in the morning. In the end I was practically ladling it into my cereal and I found that when I ran out of brewers yeast my breakfast didn't taste as good and nor did it give me same energising kick start to my day. For me it works as well as coffee to get me going in the morning.
I also used to use brewers yeast in my banana smoothies. My banana smoothy recipe is as follows:
1. one banana
2. 2 tablespoons of brewers yeast
2. 2 tablespoons of linseeds (flaxseeds)
3. some natural yoghurt
4. a small handful of raw cashews
5. a small handfull of almonds
6. a generous dollop of maple syrup or honey
7. Soy milk to mix it all together in the blenderI drink it straight away and I usually have it as a substitute for breakfast or lunch because it can be pretty filling. However if you want to consume brewers yeast and don't like the taste it's a good way to take it.(though I would still probably start with one teaspoon rather than the 2 tablespoons that I use until you get used to it)
