where does one get SF flavours to make vanilla optifast more bearable?

I've heard that Homesense and Winners have them.

So far, I've gotten by with extracts that I've purchased at Bulk Barn.

I second the Bulk Barn. The little bottles of extract are only about $2.50 so if you get one you don't like it isn't a big expense.

Mio has tons of flavours that I add to my water and Greek yogurt that you can add to optifast as well.

I think I've seen them at Walmart as well. Starbucks too.

Places that sell coffee for home brew might even carry them.

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!

If you're not finding the chocolate too bad, you can also add a 1/2 tsp of cocoa to the vanilla to make it taste like chocolate. It was listed on the thing I could add.

Hi Harpediem, there are two SF solutions some people use sugar free syrup, which makes the shake even sweeter and the extracts which are what you would use for baking. I used the almond extract and, as well, the strawberry syrup in my vanilla to make it taste less ghastly. Good luck!

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!

current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
