unofficial recipes with food packs

[Blonde Logic]

MrsB....I never used sweetners in anything before - but the Chocolate MUST have swetners added if you want it to taste like Chocolate. I add FOUR hermasitas to it, and then it tastes LOVELY. Werid, but it makes all the difference. Give it a try. Once i did that CHocolate went from bing my least favourit to my favourite. Makes a HUGE difference.

I read on here i think or heard in class that by changing the way you have teh packs can alter the nutrients and calories - is that true?

The fact is they don't know. The calorific and nutritional content of food can be changed by cooking, but there's no universal rule. The "no cooking" rule is because they can't say for sure what will happen.

These recipes are NOT for following every day or to replace eating the packs normally entirely. Look at them more as "get outs" on those days when you're absolutely desperate for "real food".

thank you pandorasinbox, i might try them in a few weeks !

[MrsBurgundy]

At the most, i'd limit it to only altering one a day, and that's in times of need!!!! x

[Pymster]

thank you , im no good at cooking so not sure i trust myself to be adventurous!!

[MrsBurgundy]

Its worth it! I made chicken crisps the other day and it was fab just to crunch something!!! I'm rubbish in the kitchen, so if i can do it anyone can!!
Just make a paste, spread it on baking parchment evenly, stick it in the microwave, keep checking in maybe 20 second intervals (i did) and voila!! When it gets crispy looking - they're done!! Break into pieces and enjoy!! xxxx

When I did LL in 2008, for 10 months, I cooked one pack a day, nearly every day and made either crips or a muffin, etc.... Never had a problem, and it sure mixed it up a bit and made it more interesting!

Lighterlife Black Forest Cookies & Chocolate Pudding

[MrsBurgundy]

Looks lovely!!! Will have to try it! I'm assuming you added fruits of the forest powder to chocolate for that?! xxx

[AnaVK]

Yep! But only a tiny bit as I've found that the fruits of the forest mix warmed up can be overpowering if there's too much of it.

In the mean time, I've discovered that I quite like the Sunrise Orange mix and should have tried it sooner.

I put half a teaspoon of it in about 70mL of water and a mix a chocolate pack in then leave it in the freezer for about 45 mins to an hour depending on what consistency you're going for. My result after 45mins is this; a minimilk ice cream texture at the extremities with an ice cold fondue sort of texture in the middle - all tasting like Terry's Chocolate Orange. Yum!

Naturally this can be done with any of the drink mixes, or even without simply using whatever shake flavour you prefer.

My LLc said that you can't make crisps with the new soup packs, it just doesn't work anymore.
Does anyone know if you can?
Last time I did LL I often had crisps as it just made all the soups more palatable for me.
