I'm trying the optifast today and using my magic bullet.. but it only holds 500ml and I can't fit ice cubes in it or it over flows.. so i put half the water in both glasses, half optifast in both glasses and then 3 ice cubes in each and mixed.

The drink gets all foamy and seems to be alot more then i should be drinking.. its like 2 full glasses and not like a shake just cold Liquid.

What am i doing wrong? I was hoping it would be icy ...

You did nothing wrong. The consistence will depend on the amount of water you use. IF you want to try it thicker just use less water. Usually the foam will go away. It is just air bubbles

next time put your water in the freezer for an hour. brea**** add opti and whatever flavor and shake. faster easier and better. was on it for a year so I would say an expert
