Vanilla optifast shakes???

I just threw the instant decaf into the cup with the vanilla or chocolate, filled it with ice, topped it off with water and blended in the bullet.

I would also mix the vanilla with more water than it called for (so it would come out the consistency of milk, not like a shake) and added a packet of crystal light orange, strawberry or dragonfruit mango.

Thanks everyone for all the great ideas!!! I will def give anyone of them a try........much support and love to all of you on your journey!!!!!

I am on day 8 as well and finding them pretty boring. Thank you for asking the question...Not to long know (but for me it seems to br dragging..)lol
Where are you having your surgery?

Hello there sorry I did not get back to you earlier!!

I am having my surgery in St. Joes Toronto Ontario on March 6th, 2012.......take care and keep me posted.......and I know we can do this..
Hugs Steph

I have a couple of friends who have had the surgery already and are doing very well....we all got together and tested out variations for the Optifast, we got pretty creative (desperation does that to people ya know lol).....here are some of the best ones....

Mixed with Vanilla          

Green tea
Chai tea
Cinnamon
Almond extract

Mixed with chocolate

Instant coffee
Almond extract
Mint extract
Coconut extract
Ginger root (grated)
 
Suggestions:
- for variety we'd sometimes split a package per meal....1/2 vanilla then 1/2 chocolate
- add extra crushed ice for a thicker consistancy and eat from a soup bowl
- froze small amounts in 1 oz shot glasses as a 'dessert'

Enjoy!
Let me know how it goes :o)
