Quick question re mixing the packs

Hi everyone,
Started this morning with a banana shake mix...

followed the instructions on mixing by adding the powder to the water and used my electric mixer ... but I had a very lumpy breakfast!
Taste was OK... but any ideas on a smooth shake??

Also, my CDC said to try warming some of the shakes as they taste yummy... any ideas which ones to try?

I didn't buy the choc ones or the coffee based ones as I don't like chocolate or coffee...

Can't wait till my first weigh in...
I lost about 10 llb last month using a 1000 cal diet but things slowed up so am hoping things get moving nicely now!

Thanks in advance for any help...

I got one of the mixers that looks like the magic bullet ( only mines the cheaper version) and I use water from the fridge, it makes a gorgeous frothy shake.

Like you I`m not keen on chocolate but the choc mint or chocolate made in to a mousse with the mix a mousse powder is delicious.
 
I use a blender and whizz for 15 secs.
So far I've tried choc mint (yummy) and vanilla (tastes like melted white chocolate - sublime) hot. It seems to go creamier anbd smoother when it's hot.
 
I mix mine in my liquidiser if cold. Hot I make up with a little cold water into a paste then add hopt water and blitz with a hand blender. Ice cubes crushed in a food processor/coffee grinder, add shake and a tiny amount of water to mix and you have a bowl of ice cream!
 
I may just have to try that hot vanilla, it sounds delicious mmmmmm
 
My hubby just got one of those kenwood frothie makers, there great for doing soup in as they heat and mix.
And you don`t get two inches of froth on the top lol
 
I use the Rosemary Conelly Hand blender, just blitz for 10 secs. lovely and smooth. Just having a hot vanilla now. Yummy :rolleyes:
 
Im not a coffee drinker but I love the capuccino shake hot.....! Explain that one ..hee hee !
Aparently the choc shake is just like a hot chocloate drink but have not yet tried it.
 
I do mine in the blender with lots of ice lovely and cold and frothy.
Im not a coffee drinker either an love the cappuchino also the vanilla with a spoo of coffee in is lovely.
I havnt had the choc hot yet, i had the choc mint last night as the mousse and yum yum.
I try and mix it so i have 1 hot shake or soup 1 cold shake and one mousse so u dont get bored.
 
Well I just had the butterscotch one, I warmed it up... it did taste a bit chemically and smelt horrible... but was pallatable...
And no lumps!
I think i will treat myself to a hand blender as the mixer doesn't really get the lumps out..

How long is it before I can go onto the mousse mixes etc... is it 2 weeks? And is this just an additive that makes the normal shakes go stiff and mousse like?
