Honestly... How do they all taste?

I'm new to these boards and will be starting as soon as my variety pack arrives... Hopefully wednesday.. But I have been doing some reading and would like to know what I should try first.

I don't want to eat one first that I hate and then be put off.. Anyone have anything that they really like or really dislike?

Thank you!!

Banana is definitely my favourite, followed by strawberry. If you've ordered porridge, that's good too. I'm not very keen on the chocolate as it's not sweet enough although you could always add swetners to it.
I've not tried any of the soups though.
Good luck with your journey :D
 
Chocolate is my fave but I've only had it made with hot peppermint tea...mint chocolate hot choc - I can get 3 hot chocs out of 1 sachets :) ,
banana Is good too!! Strawberry and vanilla was ok, love the bars and the mushroom and Thai soup are both ok too, tomato soup is rank haha!

Xx
 
I found I liked all apart from the mushroom soup. I have found that as the time goes on they taste better (probably because I have forgotten what actual food tastes like). You need to go into it thinking, ok so it might not be what I am expecting but I will lose weight and then you will find you are pleasantly surprised. I love the vanilla and banana shake followed by strawberry then chocolate, I equally love the two bars but if I had to say which one to pick first I would say the nut and raisin one and I love the veg soup, then tomato then chicken. I am on strike from the mushroom soup though but a lot of people do like them the best.
 
Chocolate is my favourite and I like banana too. Really there aren't any i don't like. Its very personal taste I think. Will be ordering bars and soups next month as not tried them yet.
Good luck I'm sure you will enjoy them. xx
 
Haha I love that you say the tomato is rank... I will avoid that for my first soup then!

I really like the idea of mint hot chocolate! I need to invest in some peppermint tea!

Do they taste milky? I LOVE milkshakes! That's why I'm rubbish at things like slimming world and ww because I downfall on milkshakes!

I may have to add sweetener if they're not sweet enough as I definitely have a sweet tooth!!

Do the shakes taste anything like slim fast??

Hmmm you're making me REALLY want a mint hot chocolate!!

I hope I love it!! It could be the best diet in the world... Well hopefully the last I will ever go on!

I want to be in my white Topshop skinny jeans by august!!

So to mix it up a bit I can have half a bar and half a shake? Then the rest later? That could work! Almost like biscuits with a hot chocolate!

It really is a matter of taste hun- my advice is don't rule out any of them or you might be missing something you like. Some people on here love the porridge whereas I can't stand it. Some hate the soups, I love them apart from tomato. I loathe mushrooms, I'd rather eat dog food than mushrooms but when I tried the soup I liked it. The shakes make me gag but I can manage the banana one, when I don't really like bananas. The choc orange bar sounded like heaven and I loved it but after about 3 I went off them! Your tastes really do change on this diet- never thought I'd enjoy the veg soup but I look forward to it and will miss it when I finish!
 
i didnt like them first couple of day but no i love them lol its that or starve to me haha i dnt like bananas but love the banana shake and i like the tom soup veg and mushroom so were all different sure u will love them good luck xxx
 
when i first tried them i hated vanilla banana etc, but ive noticed theyve changed the packaging since i first bought it (they used to be smaller and rounder but know they are taller and thinner packets) i tried 1 of my old chocolate ones and found compared with the new packs it was disgusting so i may have to buy the bumper pack when i can afford it and see if my taste of the others have changed since the new packaging has come out.

the 1 i have at the moment is just chocolate, i have strawberry but the old packs and i cant stand it lol no flavour what so ever but as i said they are the old packs so new packs may be different
 
I could live on vanilla and porridge. In fact I have done that. But seriously your tastes change, it takes about two weeks and what you love bares little resemblance to what you used to like.

It changes over time too, I still can't stand Exante bars and the Tesco ones sometimes taste delicious, sometimes like chewing cardboard. So just as no one can tell you what car to buy, no one can say which flavour is best.

we are all diffirent but my fav is vanilla and banana. chocolate as said imo isn't sweet enough......the soups are rank lol imo
 
I would say try them and see. I started last Monday and didn't know what to expect but actually there are none that I find revolting- I actually can have them all.

I love all the milkshake packs (I add sweetners to some) and the soups need to be blended or put through a strainer for me- I HATE lumps! The bars are nice too-I like them with a nice hot cup of black tea! That's my breakfast everyday.

I think I enjoy this so much because of the routine I have gotten myself into.

Weekdays:
Breakfast- Bar
Lunch- Soup
Dinner/Supper- Milkshake (you can have these in sooooo many ways its unreal!)

Just try and make sure you drink plenty of water!
