I like the mouse lately ive been..
boiling kettle, 2 sweetners little bit of hot water so sweetners melt
add 100ml of cold water, add powder mix carry on adding little bit of water till u find what you like

i do the same for vanilla in the morning but just use boiling hot water its a bit like sweet porridge

hey Anne-marie,
i just made the choc mousse for the first time so i could tell ya what i thought of it.

I LOVED IT!!!

i'm really surprised actually.
i was really thirsty after eating it though but you are meaant to have extra water if you make mousse.
i found it very chocolately but a little salty.

ill defo be having this once a day from now on x

Oh gosh, don't do it!!! Ewww! I think I'm weird cos I cannot stomach anything other than the chocolate shakes with cold water. Also, if you make it solid(ish) it's harder to get down in the fifteen minutes if you don't like it!

Did you try it?

Last time round I only ever had shakes with ice or coffee.
This week, thought I'd give some of these ideas a go.

Made the mouse yesterday (no sweetners) and really quite liked it.
I just kept adding ice cold water until it was a nice consistency, stuck it in the freezer for a couple of mins to firm it up and then ate it - it goes a bit thicker when it's colder.

This morning, I've tried half a peanut flapjack and half a vanilla powder, with hot water, to make the 'porridge' - again, really liked it.

Just mixes it up a bit.

Oh and my hubby bought some mint tea last night - so I had a mint-choc drink last night. Very comforting - nice for the cold evenings.

Thanks everyone for the tips!!

If only there was something to do with the chicken soup - heave just thinking about it!! x
