OMG Vanilla Optifast Hell

Well I started Optifast and I must say the chocolate is really not bad at all, but OMG the vanilla is right off the scale.   I tried mixing it with some crystal light, that was terrible as well.  I really need to come up with some ideas to get this vanilla down.

I have 3 weeks of opti and 27 more vanilla shakes to get into me.  Does anybody out there have any other suggestions.

I would really appreciate any help I can get.

I mixed my vanilla with the tangerine crystal lite and it tasted sorta like a creamsicle... I also mixed it with 2tsp of cocoa and it tasted just like the chocolate optifast.

Hi,

I found if you blend it with some decaf instant coffee and use super cold water it's ok, but drink it fast as it gets yucky if it sits.

I also blend it in a blender or majic bullet with some ice, I have added some real vanilla extract or i like the half chocolate/vanilla Otifast mix.

Have you checked our recipe forum?  There is an entire thread dedicated to "surviving Optifast".  The link to the forum is in my signature.

 Instant coffee had caffeine.  Be sure to ge the decaf kind!
