Optifast question
Hello!!! okay, so I am on day 2 of Optifast and was wondering if it can be heated, make it a hot chocolate instead of a shake? Has anyone tried this?
Thanks in advance!
most protein shakes will clump if heated over 140 degrees so heat slowly and carefully
Never thought about heating it - and back in the 90s, I was on Optifast for 10 months.
Pre-op, I would make a orange-cyclie shake, Diet orange soda and vanilla shake(mixed with half the water) and then add lots of soda and watch it fizz. This is a no-no post-WS, but pre-wls, I needed the extra volume to feel full.
Good luck

Ui used to make a strong decaf coffee and add that slowly to make warm protein coffee. (also reduced the sweetness of the drink)
I added hot coffee to my protein shake -not the other way around. warm is ok - too hot - will get lumpy. it is still ok to drink but the lumps are nasty... and even blending them is not fixing the texture.
