A storable suspension for the treatment of a subterranean formation contains an ultra lightweight (ULW) particulate and a carrier fluid of xanthan gum or a xanthan variant, a polysaccharide and water. The suspension exhibits a high viscosity at low shear rates and does not appear to separate for at least one week. The weight ratio of polysaccharide:xanthan in the storable suspension is between from about 8:1 to about 1:8. Prior to introducing the suspension into the formation, a foaming agent may be added, preferably in an amount sufficient to render a foam quality between from about 30 to about 98.
