Most of the Exante shakes & soups are pretty popular. Some people add sweetener to the shakes, as they're not as sweet as some of the other brands. I tend to use a hand blender to mix them up, but then I prefer having them with crushed ice in too, so definitely need the blender to make that work!
Although the price is cheaper, it is still a fantastic product, and well worth a look. You can follow it as a vlcd with 3 packs a day, or you can do their working solution and add a meal in too.
