I'm starting Exante today on Total Solution.

Anybody want to give advice on the best ways to make the soups, shakes, porridge and carbonaras?


Thanks in advance!

Hi and good luck!

With the soups i use 500ml of boiling water and put it in the blender. Then i add lots of pepper

I'm not keen on shakes in general but when i have had them i do the same with the blender but add ice too. I'm yet to try the carbonara or porridge to can't help you with that yet x

I had the bar today- that was fine. Then I had the soup which I found quite hard to drink- thought I'd prefer the creamy texture but ended up watering it down too.

I'm gonna try carbonara for tea so I will let you know if they are worth buying!

Porridge is lush, I make mine up with cinnamon and let it cook tiil it's quite thick. Carbonara is absolutely rank ... I've yet to find away to make it nice. It's like eating a bag of salt.

I always add bouillon to the soups and make them with 330mls of water. I also add curry powder, cayenne paprika etc. makes them really nice. Enjoy x

I really like the carbonara but I think it down to personal taste as I don't find it as salty as other people have said, but then I put salt in everything!

I don't like the soups either but what I learnt off a friend on the Cambridge diet which works for exante soups is to mix the power with 2 tbs of water, mix into a thick paste, spread evenly into baking paper and microwave for 2 mins. It goes like a crisp and so much easy to eat- also mix salt, pepper, tabasco or something in gives it a nicer taste! Hope that helps! It seems like you have to experiment a bit!

I love the porridge, I do it with 8oz of water and cinnamon. Mix in your shaker, mircowave in 60 sec bursts stirring until its as thick as you like. I add more cinnamon once it's cooked ... I rally look forward to it!! I always make the soups up with more water (normally 330mls)

I've heard people say you can bake the porridge into biscuits by mixing them into a thick paste, spreading on baking paper sprinkle with cinnamon and bake ... Never tried it but def sounds nice x
