I moved from CD onto exante , and choc and choc mint were my faves too !!! The exante ones are a lot less sweet , and taste quite bland in comparrison , but they are also so thick and creamy and fill me up much more than the CD ones ever did , and i love the soups and bars too ... it will take you a few days to get used to them but you will get used to them
I find exante so much easier as I feel far more satisfied and less hungry . Hope this helps xx

Just add Nesquik and your good to go lol

Well 2 1/2 weeks in and the shakes are definitely better. I just throw them back and follow with a glass of water. My taste buds must be changing as I don't even need a sweetener in them now.
I don't mind the shakes too much, I find the vanilla a bit sickly so tend to halve and halve that with either choc or strawberry to improve the taste. From what I've been reading on the forums a lot of people drink them as hot chocolates or with a dash of coffee(vanilla) so there are ways to get round it. I have a similar issue with the soups, only like one of the flavours. I guess it's all about finding a combination that you can stomach else it's going to be even harder. Love the tesco bars though!

Hmm, Nesquik in the choc shake, that sounds like a good idea tbh. As the choc is my least favourite, but how much do you normally put in there ?

A tea spoon is enough, the trick with the chocolate one is to blend it.
I bought a Kenwood Smoothie 2 go, and all the shakes taste a million times better!

I think blenders are key to making a great shake. I have all of mine hot, and I use 900mls of water and a blender, it mixes it really well, makes them light and fluffy not like water

Mmmm, Nutella...
You could try Options or another sugar-free choc powder as Nesquik is high in sugar. Just a thought!

900ml of water?
They say 225-250 in the pack...
And you guys wonder why they are bland... lol
What happens to the bars?
Do you crush them to bits, mix with water and pretend it's a bowl of weetabix? lol

Blender eh, Ive been using a shake mixer and a straw- to avoid those tiny lumps- I sound so prehistoric.

As long as I use very cold water, I find 300-350ml of water with my space powder, shaken vigorously in a protein-shake-style mixer bottle for 10 seconds provide a nice, light, slightly frothy drink that I find rather pleasant
You almost make the shakes sound delicious...
... ok yeah they are!

I LOOOOOOOOOVE the choc shake and I'm not ashamed to admit it lol
But they changed didn't they from mouldy tasting to super sweet, are they still super sweet? I hope so coz I like them like that.
I mix mine with just a large balloon whisk in a measuring jug, never have any lumps in mine. The choc one always seems to need an extra whisk though, no idea why.
