Help! Optifast mix-ins? And fiber?

Anyone have any ideas of things were aloud to mix in with optifast chocolate and vanilla looking for some ideas so I don't get boared. And what fiber is ok to mix in with these shakes? Help

You can mix in some sugar free syrups. I personally just use pure cocoa powder in my vanilla, with four ice cubes, some water and blend well in my magic bullet. I haven't needed to worry about adding fibre. 

Many folks use syrups, its really just trying different things that work for you 

I usted some stevia with flavour and flavour from bulk barn.

I took metamucil pills with each shake.

I used ice out of a bag... and raspberry crystal light....the opti vanilla and milk...and I mixed it well in my Magic Bullet...so it ended up being a crushed ice smoothie.

As for the chocolate... opti and milk and ice...did the same thing as above..

This kept me sane.... 

I also drank   beef, chicken, vegetable  broths..  to stave off hunger pains.

All the best to you.

I used ice cubes, vanilla optifast and strawberry banana crystal light.  Tasted like a strawberry milkshake.  I found as long as it was very cold it was easier to drink. 

 

Were aloud to use milk

Absolutely no milk is allowed.  Not sure if the person above made a mistake when she wrote it out but it's not allowed at any of the centres.

If you click the link in my signature line for the recipe group there is a whole thread dedicated to surviving optifast and there are a lot of recipes.  As for fibre, get the metamucial unflavoured pills that have no sugar in them and take them with each shake.  It will help to keep you regular as at first the liquid just wants to run through you and you end up with diarrhea and the metamucil will help absorb some of that liquid so you don't.

Try the SF syrups... Some Winners stores have them if not Starbucks for 9.95. I bought Khaluah and mixed a tsp or 1 1\2 of decaf coffee and ice yumm ice cap ! The raspberry ice crystal light and the vanilla and ice yummmm!

Good luck!!

I agree with the milk (from what Ottawa told me) except our hand out said 1/4 cup a day of skim for like coffee but I stayed generally clear of it just to be careful.  I enjoyed the flavour of adding almond extract to the chocolate and vanilla.

Regarding fiber, silly me thought "I won't get constipated, all I'm drinking is liquid" WELL BOY had I not thought of the other possibility of diarrhea and I've learned that the tablets will help with that as well.  I wished I had paid better attention and taken them every day.
