drink from a covered cup, use a straw, if the smell is getting to you. Did you try putting it in the blender and mixing it so the ice is all teeny?

you can mix it with more water, too, if you like, not just the 300 ml or whatever it says

Do you have a blender? I used a magic bullet, made sure that the water was ice cold (kept it in the fridge) and used ice. Once i did that, it was okay...I used more water then the package says,

Also!
Is it ok if I only get half of each drink into me 3 times a day?

You have to get all 4 in you. If too much volume is the problem then make them thicker and just chug them and then drink water after.

I used to put vanilla extract in the vanilla and chocolate extract in the chocolate. Makes them taste more like a milkshake and less like optifast. Good luck. :)

I liked the DaVinci (sugar free) Syrup and had to put in 8-10 ice cubes per serving.

If you are ever in the KW area, I can give you the 2 bottles I have left. (1 of chocolate and one of irish cream...delish!) After a while and now especially with the warmer weather it tastes like a milkshake.
