I really like the raspberry and have one every morning for breakfast -- then again I love the peanut bar toasted too.
The only things I cannot stomact or even stand the smell of are the vanilla and the caramel shake ... urghhhhh.
Good job we're all different isn't it

Try putting a spoon of instant coffee in it and heating it up in the microwave. Thats what I have for breakie every morning - my version of a latte.

you're only allowed one bar a day, so you won't be able to swap them all, I wouldn't have thought
have you tried any of the other soups yet? I liked the chili at first, but can't stand the smell of it now but I have always really liked the mushroom. Was going to say 'enjoyed' but that's probably too strong a word!
The veg is ok too, I went off it for a while, but am back on now.
I tend to have mostly chocolate shakes. Looking forward to the new flavours next week.
Are you at work, do you have access to ice? I find the shakes taste better really cold. Preferably blended with a couple of ice-cubes. I also like them with only a small glass of water so they're quite concentrated and thick.
I quite like the vanilla hot - almost hot milk/Horlicks-y. The choc is nice hot, but I think it loses a bit of flavour, so have it in a small mug so it's quite strong.

Hi,
I would really recommend the Kenwood Frothie Hot and Cold Drinks Maker. I got it for £20 from Amazon, and have also seen it in Asda for that price. Other places it can cost up to £39.99, but it's well worth it. It's simple to use and really mixes the foodpacks well.
I mix the shakes for 15-20 minutes - this makes them really frothy and eliminates any lumps. You can mix them for as long or as short a time as you like. For the soups you press the Hot Mix button and they only take about 5 minutes. They come out just like a Cup A Soup, a nice thin consistency and perfectly blended. Previous to buying the Frothie, I had been using a blender which was ok for shakes but left the soups a really unappetising foamy consistency. They tasted fine but I just found it really off-putting.
I found out about the Frothie from someone's Lighterlife blog that I read when I started the diet - thank goodness I did! I would heartily recommend it. Keep posting to let us all know how you get on.
