Hope you found your third day not too bad. I must admit, its made me think about food in a different way, I did my shopping for my family yesterday and it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. xx Just had the hot banana shake mmmmmm much better than cold. x

Absolutely, best way to have it Very custard like

Think I am going to try the vanilla with a bit of coffee today as not tried that yet, not really a coffee drinker anymore but do like an occasional latte. Is this what it will taste like??

I am a bit boring really as usually have porridge for brekki, bar for lunch and pasta for tea but I suppose it's good to have more of a variety really xx

Well it doesn't taste exactly like a latte. It's more like a milky coffee using soy milk. Personally, I prefer the vanilla shake hot with some cinnamon and nutmeg. Although I am a total coffee junkie, having it in the shake doesn't really hit the spot with me, must admit. But give it a try, who knows, you might really like it, lots of people do

How much water do you use when you make it hot ?

Last night I had the vanilla shake with a good 2 tsp of instant espresso powder (Carte Noir Expresso) and ice cubes, and it was lovely -- like an iced coffee. I made it quite strongly coffee-flavoured, though. My husband tasted it and said you wouldn't know it was diet food at all.

As a slave to my Nespresso machine I don't drink instant coffee, but I had bought the jar with the intention of making a Nigella Lawson recipe for coffee ice cream. Then I spontaneously went on the Exante diet on the spur of the moment, so the ice cream idea was abandoned. I'm pleased to find some use for the coffee powder, though. I have also tried it in the chocolate shake, as a mocha, and that was nice too. I will definitely have both combinations again.

I never measure the water, I boil the kettle, put the powder in a cereal bowl and whisk the hot water into it until it has the consistency I like. It gets a lot thicker with hot water so I find it goes a bit further that way
I have had the chocolate with the coffee and quite liked it.

I'm a slave to my Nespresso machine too and learned to drink my coffee black thanks to it because they just taste so damn good. I bought a tiny bottle of Nescafe to use for my shakes, I tried putting a Nespresso coffee into the shake but it's a waste of good coffee and you lose the taste.
