ive been on it for 2 weeks now i mixed it with crystal lite and i didnt like it, today i tried it with the rum essence/extract and it gave it a nice flavor, also pure cocoa powder,the peppermint extract is also good, jello mix (sugar free) and sugar free syrup....hope this will help. My nutritionist was the one who told me these were ok to have so i just didnt make something up if ur a bit concerned :) good luck

Add RUM and ice cubes, shake, don't stir,  and drink



(Being funny here, I think!) It's not called Opticrap for nothing!

Shoot,,,I'm over 3 years out and wonder why I didn't think of the Bailey's version  when I was on 2 weeks of Opticrap prior to surgery?  It was in the dead of winter and I was fed up with cold sweet stuff...was desperate for hot soupy stuff in January and February 2008 before mysurgery...The night before my surgery I said Frick it and had protein consome from Protidiet for my last meal.

Add a heaping teaspoon of pure cocoa - - it cuts the sweetness and gives it a natural chocolate taste.  I've also used a heaping teaspoon of decaf instant coffee in the am. I haven't purchased any syrups yet since I only had two samples but I intend to get a caramel no sugar added from Starbucks or Second Cup to jazz things up a bit.

Try mixing half vanilla and half chocolate - it is yummy!
