Opti Day 1
Haha, so I tried the ice with coffee idea for tonight's shake. Except that, as a non-coffee drinker I didn't realize there's a big difference between instant and frozen grinds... it was a bitter, gritty mess, BLEAHHH!
When he realized what I'd done my husband laughed and laughed at me. He's going to pick up some instant for me tonight.
Rookie mistake, duh!
oh man sounds terrible, ya im not a coffee drinker either but it honestly was the best way to mask the taste. I tried crystal light, mio etc.. sugar free syrups but they just didnt cut it. Hopefully you find something that works for you, like i said before at last try it once to say you tried it alot of people like it that way.

I will check with my surgeon in regards to the Advil.
It's 11:00 and my stomach is growling already. I'll do lunch at 12, then I'm planning "tea" at 4 and dinner at 8 lol.
I would never have thought of Bulk Barn, there's one near my office!

I'm not a coffee drinker either but I used it in every single opti I had, I did a teaspoon of instant coffee, coconut extract, dash of cinnamon, ice and I shock it up real good! Still wish I could drink it today! Best of luck!

I HATED the vanilla with anything other than sugar free vanilla syrup that I purchased from starbucks. I blended it with 4 ice cubs and 3-4 shots of the vanilla. I bought half and half of the flavours and I should have stuck to chocolate but oh well. I finished out the 3 weeks.
You can do this!!!
