I like the shakes too (apart from hazelnut and lemon and raspberry) I tried the vanilla with coffee heated up and wasn't sure about it, might try it cold and see if that's better.

Just tried the lemon and raspberry shake - really isn't nice! That seems to be the opinion of quite a lot of people on forums too.
Also had another new (to me) flavour - orange & pineapple - that wasn't great either, smelt of sick whilst being prepared 
Interestingly was just reading about how you can mix a sachet of chocolate shake into a very thick paste, roll into balls and then bake in the oven to make biscuit/cake type things - anyone on here ever done that? |

I Occasionally made muffins in the oven but mostly made all of my shakes into pancakes using the microwave. Takes a lot of trial & error to get it to how I like it though. |

I really like the breakfast eggs (both packs), sausage mix & the caramel pud, probably gonna get to a point where I have the breakfast eggs and sausage mix every day.

I think some of the food packs are what I'll try next, that and the continuing with the shakes. Don't think I'll bother with any of the bars in future as eating them is a real struggle. |

Not as big as the others but enough as its quite sweet. I save mine for special occasions or for when I need a bit of pampering.  |

Ooo, excited. I'm pretty sure there's a cookies and cream bar in my new order. Tried the Exante 'crisps' and honestly wasn't sure what to make of them. Nice and spicy but a really odd texture, kind of dry and crumbly but also crunchy.

I find the cookies and cream one really disappointung. I know it's very sweet, and realy quite dense as well as fatter than the other bars but my brain can't see past the fact that it's smaller.

I find it disappointing too kitty. I think my new favourite is the breakfast eggs with some dried chives in, I make it like scrambled egg and almost forget it isn't real!

i have some eggs lurking from an old order im too scared to try!! i ordered a fair few of the food packs but never really used them thinking theyd be disgusting, maybe i need to bite the bullet - mind the pun - and try it
i had yesterday - cookines and craem bars, ok so i have to remind myself it aint gonna be no thorntons bar!! but when youve come from lipotrim and been eating the caardboard flapjacs these are heaven!! it wasnt as nice as id hope but nice enough - and stodgy so it makes u not want another one!! i would re purchase these
cookie - half a cookie, ermm again, ok - very synthetic tasting, basically its one large cookie. nice with a cuppa. i can see it as being super useful to take out with you if others are earing/drinking u can easily get away with this. would repurchase as its a nice feeling having a cuppa and a biccie!
choc and coconut - basicaly the choc bar with a coconut flavouring - layer of stodge covered in chocoalte, u cant exactly just chomp these bars down - theres something about it, the way you ahve to chew the damn things which means you have to take your time eating it. i think i would probs order agaib tho.

I had the yoghurt and jam bar this morning and it was really lovely. Not as hard work to chomp through as some of the others and sweet without being sickly. Would be lovely with a cuppa.
