hi Sorry to hear you don't like the shakes. I have the chocolate one hot every time, you can make it with peppermint tea also, hot or cold. I mix half of the vanilla powder and half of the chocolate powder together sometimes to alter the flavour. Some people mix the vanila one with peppermint also and say it's nice. Have you tried them as a mousse, you may prefer them.
wishing you all the best with it.
