Yup it's hand eatable.I would have added the pics but the site doesn't allow us to :(
Canadian programs allow, sugar free syrups and water flavour mix ins like Crystal Light and Mio. Also, you can add it to decaf coffee and tea, cold or warm, (if adding to a hot liquid remember to temper it first, or it may turn lumpy).. A lot of people in my group mix half chocolate and half vanilla. Try it warm, or frozen like a popsicle. Do not add fruit or other 'food' as the prior poster suggested it is not allowed before surgery in the Canadian system. Good luck with your surgery!

This sounds like a cool idea. :) Question... does the 'crust' harden up to a crispy type crust? Or is it semi-soft? Is it hand held eatable?
I am going to be starting my Optifast shakes this week and I am looking for suggestions/recipes that anyone has to make them taste better. Any help would be great!
Thanks :)
I would add a piece of chicken or salmon to bump up the protein.
