Bouillon is delicious, i'm a new convert . I couldn't get the reduced salt one though so have the salty one, and it is pretty salty, so i only have one cup a day max and make it quite weak. Still tastes fantastic, absolutely love it!

It is the one from this company: www.marigoldhealthfoods.com which i saw recommended on here. I bought mine from Asda, it's in the aisle where all the gravy's/oxo's are. It's really much yummier than you would think, i really love it. It is 12 calories a cup (although i make mine weak probably only 6 cal but still tastes great), and like i said above, salty, even the reduced salt one i think so probably best not to go overboard on it.

If you want the reduced salt one it is normally with the free from stuff, you know the gluten free, wheat free etc section
Get the reduced salt one as the normal one can cause you to retain water!
Got mine in tescos

If you have the low salt version i don't think 2 or 3 a day will hurt. It is the salt you have to watch before the carbs with this drink really so just watch that you don't start retaining fluid. It really is yummy and does feel like you are eating a proper soup, hehe.
