crispy cereal - shaker or hand blender?

[serenade]

just waiting for my packs to arrive next week.

On CD at the moment and tend to mix everything with a hand blender.


are there any S&S that work better in a shaker rather than a hand blender, i know you have to hand blend hot drinks but what about the crispy shakes(don't want to get rid of the crispy bits)


Thanks

I use a shaker bottle for all shakes. I've done CD in the past and used a hand blender for all shakes but s&s mix well with just a shaker.

For the choc crispy shake, I mix with a spoon to a dessert consistency rather than a shake, feels more indulgent!

I use a shaker when out and about and a blender at home. Both give good results. I do use less water than suggested as they do seem a little thicker and 'nicer' that way! With the crispy shake if you blend it it does still leave some bits but I do prefer it from the shaker or really thick and eaten with a spoon. X

Shaker for all of mine. The crispy vanilla is kinda like rice crispies and choc one like cocopops i mix with water in shaker

I don't have the SnS shakes - but when I tried them I made the mistake of making the crispy one in the blender - not that xrispy after that!! The others are fine in either the blender or the shaker.

Hand blender for me, I can add more or less water to create a milkshake or a mousse.

I always eat the crispy ones as pudding yum. All the other shakes I make with a blender bottle, makes it so easy to have at my desk, in the gym changing room etc

If you have a powerful blender it will obliterate the crispy bits, I just have mine as a pudding.

I blended one the other day and it tasted more like chocolate with nuts???

Was actually quite nice!

Ohhhhhh! What is this? How much water to make a pudding? I've got lots of trial flavours coming tomorrow, coming over from cd. Excited!

I usually just make a coffee, drink half then slowly pour it into a bowl with crispy chocolate, keep stirring and adding until its as thick or thin as you like. Can use water cold or warm, milk, coffee or tea (redbush nice). I have a ramekin to do pudding in only 50p just the right size

I have a LOT of crispy choc shakes to get through at the mo! I like them, but they kind of make me feel a bit 'empty' so will not be ordering them again!!
I have made the crispy shake into a cookie which is quite nice. I know it seems like a lot of effort (which I guess it is!!), but if you are craving something to bite and want to save your bar for later, it is worth it... This is an original CD/LL recipe and has been quoted numerous times!!!

Pre-heat oven at 150
Dissolve 2-3 tablet sweeteners in 4 teaspoons of sparkling water
Add the pack and stir well to a very thick 'paste' consistency
Shape into a large flat cookie round on baking parchment , don't worry if you think it is too flat as the sparkling water makes the cookie puff up
Bake for approx 15 mins Allow to cool or place in fridge for 5 minutes for a 'crispier' cookie
