Hot?

[emmamissfun]

Just realised something Im not sure of after making a huge order yesterday, can you have the shakes hot? I used to love hotchoc on Lighter Life and have ordered loads of choc shakes in the hope that will keep me going. Dont know what Ill do if you cant!

i think the general concensus is to only have one pack per day hot...something to do with the vitamins not holding up to the heat...please correct me if im wrong guys x

I have all my shakes hot I only order vanilla and choc, I usually have a vanilla as a latte and a hot choc later. Not keen on them cold at all

Yup, I have lots hot too - the vitamin breakdown happens if you don't drink them within about 15-20 minutes apparently, regardless of how they are prepared (according to my old LL counsellor), although I think they last a bit longer if kept in the fridge. x

I've been having the vanilla and chocloate ones hot recently, very nice. I make them up with a milk frother (99p from Ikea) and it makes them even yummier.

I do add a tablet sweetener to them if I'm having them hot though (don't feel the need when they're cold) as it makes them taste more like a real hot chocolate or malty drink.

Do you mean mixed? The Exante ones are lovely as they are without mixing them. I only use half a sachet in both the shakes and the hot drinks as that way I get 4 a day, I use the same amount of water as you're supposed to use for a whole sachet and they still taste really nice and aren't too thin.

yes I used to have half choc and half vanilla as a hot drink. I cant stand coffee or tea so cant have that with anything. I never thought of using half so I could spread it out, good tip.
