HOT CHOCOLATE WITH OPTIFAST?? the definitive answer!!

 I emailed Nestle (the makers of Optifast) to enquire if you could make a hot drink with Optifast. Here is their reply.

Good Food. Good Life.

 i was  also told it is  not recommended as it takes  some of the nutrients  out of it, and when we  are barley having any  as it is  i personally wouldn't  add boiling water, its  not a very  big drink as  you only add 300ml of  water to 1 packet

 Well that is what the reply says... warm or ho****er is ok but they don't recommend boiling water.

ps I dont suppose a dollop of whipped cream with chocolate curls would be a good idea eh?? 

just kidding ... lol

awesome!! I will definitely try it with warm water. Sometimes I feel like something warm, hot and sweet.

 you guys should get this confirmed with your drs office.

tell them what the nestle ppl say but if it was me id be taking the word of my surgeon over some nestle rep...

but thats just me.

 i agree with you  mike, i'm following the  rules now 2 days  now out of 5  i have been drinking all 4 shakes as directed on the  pkg 

Sorry Mike but I think the maker of the product would know more than the surgeon's do about this product.  My surgeon had it confirmed with Nestle that it could be made with warm water as well but if you boil the water you end up with a mess.  I know a few that used their hot coffee to mix it with, they just let it sit on the counter a bit longer so it wouldn't be super hot then added the mix.
