I just made a chocolate 'muffin' and it was entirely edible...

...although not the greatest muffin I've ever eaten. Still, beggars can't be choosers.

I just got the chocolate shake mix - sieved it to get any lumps out. Mixed it with cold water into a paste, and scraped it into a ramekin. I then nuked it (my microwave is 800w and may I add its beautiful - got it in the sale at Sainsburys yesterday after finally binning the old one) for one minute.

Turn it out onto a plate, and let it cool a bit. Lo and behold - a 'muffin'.
I found it ok to eat - made a bit of a change. Might or might not benefit by adding a powdered sweetener (are you allowed those) cos I think I sieved out the sweetener thats in it already (there were certainly little crystals that came out)

Won't be doing it every day, but it's fine if you want something 'different'

I usd to make these oncambridge ... Also banana shake mixed with a spoon of coffee ! Yum ! Might have one today so thanks for the reminder x

 

[lynniep]

ooh will try the banana coffee combo!

 

[leesecandoit]

Thanks!

I made one after reading this, it was a nice change. I didn't sieve it and it was fine, I may dissolve a sweetener in water next time and add though.

Yes! all flavours of shakes as muffins are delicious, I have em with my cola and a multi-vit keeps me sane so far.

Just make sure you only cook ONE PACK PER DAY as it zaps the nutrients. Hot water is okay but any other form of heat kills the goodness.

I can't stress enough how important it is to get the vits you need while on a VLCD.

Sounds like a fab idea! Although I don't have a microwave... can you put them in the oven?

I don't want to put a downer on this, but I think you'll find that being nuked will change and probably destroy some of the vitamins/minerals
