Hiya im Starting today just had my first shake and it was awful I'm now really worried how I'm going to do this for the next 4 weeks :-/ any tips ?

Hi there, what shake did you have? Some shakes taste better either hot or with flavorings added to them. Good Luck im only on day 2 so know how you feel xx

 

[merlin_chucky2003]

Strawberry one
Just having the choc and orange bar and that's just as bad lol :-/

 

[Red2607]

Oh no! I haven't tried either yet. May just take some getting used 2? xx

 

[merlin_chucky2003]

Gosh I hope so!, struggling already lol

 

[Red2607]

You will get there! I struggled today with the porridge, but gonna try making it into biscuits - might make it easier to eat.There is a thread somewhere that gives you loads a recipes for doing something different with the shakes.

Found it- http://www.minimins.com/exante/222002-how-do-you-make-your-shakes-soups.html might give you some ideas

Ooo yum let me know how that goes!
Yea I've read that but most is with coffee and I hate the stuff lol

The taste improves within a few days merlin. If you make the shakes with loads of ice they smell less like stinky baby-formula. Hold your nose as you drink them - that really helps too. In a couple of days I guarantee you'll be an addict like the rest of us!

 

[Red2607]

Oh and try to drink with a straw! Really helps me

Ok so the tomato soup wasnt to bad I added chilli flakes tho so I'm hoping that's Ok?
Also vanilla shake for breakfast this morning was lovely!

Yippee glad it's been more palatable. Ice and sweetener in the shakes r a revelation. I dont like coffee in the shakes either. Also using a blender helps. Chilli flakes r ok. Onwards and upwards now hopefully

 

[merlin_chucky2003]

Fab so are you allowed herbs, salt etc...?

 

[Angeluk69]

I add salt and pepper to most of the savoury packs, and sometimes a bit of cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit. I also make the shakes up as hot drinks (well the vanilla and choc ones anyway ) and add cinnamon and nutmeg to add a bit of something.

Just made cookies out of the porridge! Was delicious recommend it! Glad you found something you like. How are you feeling?

 

[crazyasadaizy]

How did you make them into biscuits? x

 

[Red2607]

Mixed the porridge with a little water into a thick paste, set out on baking paper and baked them in the over for 15 mins.200 degrees was amazing x
