To begin with, I really really really hate the taste of cilantro so I never used more than a fourth of a bunch including stems, except in the very beginning when I used a half bunch. I mask it with so much fruit: banana, frozen blueberries, peaches or strawberries and then add chocolate unsweetened almond milk till the blender measures four cups with other ingredients. The colder the better for me. I eventually got accustomed to the taste and reduced amount to 1/6 of a bunch. Then I missed a few days here and there. Then I missed almost a week and when I returned to the cilantro I almost gagged again, so staying with it is definitely acclimating my body to the taste. I may try the sweetened milk to see if it helps but I opted for the unsweetened because of the calories. I have my bottle of chlorella tabs next to my computer so I can reorder. Just haven't done it yet. Another thing I did to get rid of the Grover's in the beginning was the Whole 30 diet, which meant no sugar, dairy, grains, legumes and whatever else they deny you. That is what really worked for me. No inflammatory foods were allowed. You can go back in time to my posts. I was a fanatic about cotton only and even gave up my bra in lieu of undershirts and big tops. I was desperate, however. So many people shared their stories and encouraged me, especially gardening junkie. I freeze the cilantro in single servings. It has been a year since my initial outbreak and I will never EVER forget my misery. Good luck to you. Find a taste blend that works for you and stick with it, and go the cotton route. The whole 30 route was brutal but I adapted and I pretty much stick to most of it now. Unfortunately, sometimes I go crazy for chocolate. In addition, I cover the area with the thick vanicream twice a day.
