Masking Fish Oil Taste: Effective Strategies & Delicious Ideas

Fish oil is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, arrhythmia, and high blood pressure. Unfortunately, fish oil tastes horrible. Here's a few tips on how to disguise that fishy flavor.

Instructions

• 1

  Citric acid is a great way to hide strong flavors, so try mixing a few drops into a glass of grapefruit or orange juice.

• 2

  Try blending the fish oil into a smoothie. Use bananas and peaches; the starchiness of the the banana and the sweetness of the peaches will hide the fishy taste.

• 3

  It sounds strange, but clam chowder is a good way to go, assuming you don't mind a milder fish taste. Since it already has a bit of that flavor, it will just get a little stronger. This obviously doesn't eliminate the flavor, but in this context it tastes natural and won't be unappealing.

  Probably the easiest way is to just get it over with; mix a few drops into a couple tablespoons of lemonade or grapefruit juice and drink it down in one shot. Chase it with some fish-free juice.
