OptiFast Recipes

Hi Everyone,

I am on a liquid diet before my RNY and wondered if you had any ideas how to make it more enjoyable?

I have both the Vanilla and the Chocolate flavour.

Thank you for any ideas you can pass on.

 I added some of the sugar free cherry Kool aid just the powder into the chocolate and it tasts just like black forest chocolate.

I used extracts...maple, strawberry, banana

When my husband was on the Optifast shakes I made him the "Iced Cappuccino".

1 Optifast pouch
2 tsp Instant Coffee
1 Sweetener
Ice
Put them in a blender and mix well.

I myself tried both the shakes on their own. The chocolate is tolerable but the Vanilla is a lot more difficult to drink on it's own. When making with the Vanilla, use a French Vanilla flavoured coffee.

Even if you don't make the Cappuccino, using ice in the shakes is key, makes it easier to drink. I'm drinking the leftovers as a meal replacement for myself.  LOL

I liked Vanilla with Diet Orange Soda (For A Creamsicle)

and Vanilla with Diet RootBeer (For a RootBeer Float)

I would use some  ice to make it thick...Probably only used half a soda with each pouch, so I could add ice.
