Just tried the icecream milkshake....loved it! But needed to be a touch sweeter. What sweeteners are ok? As I will pop one in blender next time. Soooooo full right now.

Hi yes sweetener is allowed I love those mc flurry ice creams with vanilla shakes, lots of ice and sweetener blended they are fab.
I did banana( my first ever shake) needed to be a bit sweeter. I had to eat it with a spoon! So is it any sweetener?
I think you're supposed to avoid anything with aspartame in it so any of the others.
good question, my book says tablet and drop sweetners are free. Also granular sweetners with less than 2 cals a tsp are free such as canderal, hermesetas, splenda and sweet n low. I use truvia because is is a natural sweetner and is 0 cals a tsp/sachet!
Thanks ladies.....of to tescos then
I've tried Truvia and Stevia in the past and didn't like them at all so I stick to my Hermasetas.
You can have tablet sweeteners but not granulated on vlcdsQuote:

According to s&s, it's only tablet sweetener, but as stevia is different you'd be best asking them direct xQuote:

You shouldn't need to add any to shakes! They're sweet enough :) if you need to tho, just dissolve the tablets in a tsp of hot water first xQuote:
