Step 1 Sole Source Toffee and walnut shake

[thisisme]

Hi all,


Does anyone else have this shake? I like the taste of it but even in a pint of water, I still find it gets sickly pretty quickly.

Not sure if adding a spoon of coffee to it will make a difference (I do this with the vanilla, mix it with loads of ice and it tastes like a Starbucks frappucino) but not sure if it would work with the toffee and walnut and don't want to waste a pack if it's horrible!

I tried it the other day for the first time and it was ok. I had it cold with ice. You can taste the walnut more than the toffee but I would have it again.

I hope that helps x x

THANKYOU! I'll give it a go later, I'm hoping the bitterness of the coffee will take the edge off the sickly taste! X

For me it smells better than it tastes! Def going to avoid it in future, it has that 'stale' taste that the soups have for me although I think I'm in the minority here! Best shake by far for me is mint chocolate

Hmm, it's ok, but I say that having had one sat there for at least 3 weeks waiting to be drunk lol

I have 4 packs left to use, a spoon full of coffee in it does help take the sickly taste from it

I must be the weirdo here, I LOVE toffee & walnut and ordered most of my packs for this week in that flavour and Choc Mint lol x

Hah me too, I love toffee & walnut... I've enjoyed all the shakes I've tried, think I've had them all except cappuccino and forest fruits...

 

[KatieM87]

Cappucino is also yummy! Im not keen on the fruit flavour shakes, make my tummy feel icky lol x

I love mixing a cup of coffee with the toffee and walnut and blending it, having it warm. Taste delicious to me

Love love toffee and walnut shakes - but only when they're made up as muffins. Mind you, muffin-making is a bit of an art form in itself and you aren't supposed to cook one of your products if you're only on 3 packs a day. But it's great when you really can't face the thought of another shake.

Lily's rough and ready guide to muffin making (don't blame me if this doesn't work out for you!)

Using a ramekin (i've got a little ceramic one that works well) dissolve a tablet sweetener in about 2 tablespoons of hot water from the kettle. Pour toffee/walnut shake mix on top and mix well. You need the mixture to be quite dry rather than gloopy - too much liquid is not a good idea - but you may need to add a little more hot water to get it to mix.

Pop into a microwave and cook for 1 min 40 seconds (my microwave is an 800W so you may need to adjust the time in either direction for a few seconds).

Remove from microwave and spoon out spongy muffin on to a plate (hopefully it won't stick too much!). Eat!

i think taste buds adjust and change over time. Some shakes I liked initially i can't have anymore. I think you should rotate them

I like toffee and walnut too, with chocolate are the two flavors I prefer.

Hmmm muffins!!! try mixing half a banana and hake toffee and walnut together and it makes an amazing banoffee flavoured shake!!!
