Slim Fast Shake Recipies Please!!

[Alwaysonadiet]

Hi all! I've just started Slim Fast today. I was doing Herbalife for months but just got fed up with the same shakes all the time so decided to give Slim Fast a go as its cheaper! I bought Strawberry, Chocolate and Cafe Latte Shakes from Ebay.

I had a cafe latte shake this morning and a chocolate shake for lunch all made with skimmed milk and ice cubes.

Does anyone know any recipies for making really nice tasting shakes? I wasn't fussed on the chocolate so only took a few mouthfuls and threw the rest down the sink... not a great start... :sigh:​

The only thing I can think of is to add ice cream, especially to the vanilla shake, but I guess that would be counter-productive
I read in another thread that someone tried freezing it once and it just wouldnt freeze... otherwise slimfast lollies sound wonderful!

Good question, I shall be keeping an eye on this thread Hope someone has some novel ideas!

You could try eating the meal bars if you don't like the taste of the shakes, too?

i quite like the shakes. have only tried the chocolate and strawberry ones but they are nice when done in the blender. i did try making one in a jug with a hand whisk and that was horrid. no matter how much i whisked there was still tiny lumps in it!

i use a blender and find its brilliant for the shakes makes em nice n smooth with a creaminess to them even tho its skimmed milk i also add a ice cube when blending to help chill it

I use a shaker (that I actually bought from the Tony Ferguson bit in Boots!) that works brilliantly for me, I shake it around for about 20 seconds and its fine and smooth. I love the vanilla shakes, they're all I have, but the Cafe Latte ones are nice too

I have 1 tip, don't heat it up it's bloody vile!

Other than that just ice cubes and a blender. I had a "Kenwood Smoothie to go" thingy which did the job til I broke both cups now I just use one of them hand blenders that you use for blitzing soup and what-not.
