Thanks guys for this idea of adding coffee with the vanilla shake. I've only just started on the Exante diet yesterday & I was surprised I did well
Today I took with me to work a vanilla shake & I was hoping I would like it otherwise I would have starved lol. But hearing I could add coffee (which I love anyway) I can't wait to have it now.
Again I just like to thank everyone here that where everyone is supporting each other here. We're all soon be Very Slim & happy x x

I don't really do anything to mine, apart from maybe a little black pepper to the soup and a little extra water to the shakes.

Ooh this sounds so exciting I start today. Will defiantly be trying the coffee

This has been a great thread - I've been sticking to the 'normal' flavours in this first week as too scared that if I jazzed anything up and then couldnt get it down at all I'd use that as an excuse to fall of't wagon!

Howver this morning I've done the vanilla /coffee / latte and its really nice and warm and filling so thank you

Hi guys some really good suggestions on here...

i am absolutely fine with the bars and look forward to the shakes...but
the soup, i find disgusting.

i have tried some of the suggestions but i end up throwing at least half the soup down the sink.

please is there anyone that was in this position but found a (miracle) way to actually finish the soup without puking?

Im feeling sooo sorry for myself right now and ive only just started!:cry:

Thanks

Thank you to all who contribute to this thread. I've read it twice in full in the last 24 hours its so helpful!

I tried the coffee vanilla latte at lunch and wasn't so keen (1 spoon of coffee with whole sachet and 300ml of hot water) but next time I think I'll try 2 spoons of coffee or only use half a pack at a time as it wasn't coffee like enough. I have ordered the week starter pack (1 started with the 4 weeks shakes and bars) so after reading this I'm a little apprehensive about trying the soups but I'm also armed with what I can do to make them taste better . Thank you.

I like to use a chocolate shake mix and make a muffin and chocolate custard. Just put the chocolate powder and a crushed sweetener into a small cup and put 2 teaspoonsful of it into a separate cup. Add a little water to the first cup (the one with most of the powder) and mix into a thick paste. Microwave for 1min 40. Add hot water to the other cup and mix to a custard consistency. I usually cut the muffin into small pieces and pour the custard over. mmmmmmmmmm
