Optifast
Anyone ever tried opti as a warm drink, if so, how did you prepare it? If there is another option I'd love the idea, I'm already tired of drinking it cold all day. lol

I'd have to look at the instructions again, but I don't think you can warm it up at all. If you are looking for some options, check out Surviving Optifast in the Recipe forum: http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/ontario_recipes/discussion/.
Your other liquids could be warm though, decalf coffee/tea, ho****er, broth.

I actually heated the chocolate one as well. just make sure to not boil it. I mixed the opti with cold water first then mixed in the warm water
