My weight doctor suggested that since I normally only eat two meals a day that I make up that 3rd one by drinking a Meal Replacement Shake. I've never really liked this type of drink but to keep my calories, protein and carbs in check I decided to give it a try.
I went to Walmart and found their Equate brand, which is listed as a Meal Replacement Shake. The price was great compared to many others. They were just over $5.00 for 6 11 oz. bottles. They came in chocolate, strawberry and French vanilla. I'm not a chocolate lover and was afraid the strawberry would taste artificial and even if it did taste good I would probably get tired of the same flavor every day. So, I bought the French vanilla.
I bought 2 packs and when I got home I put one in the refrigerator and was putting the other on a shelf in the kitchen. That is when I spotted my flavorings. I have coconut, black walnut, maple, and even bourbon, just to name a few. Then it hit me. What if I added just a little flavoring to my shake. Well, I'll tell you what happened! I've had a different flavor every day. I even added a little orange flavoring one day and it taste like the Dream Cycles I used to eat as a kid. I tried the maple and it's delicious. I used the Bourbon flavoring and boy was it good, as was the coconut. AND since it's the holidays I'm going to try a pinch of nutmeg so I can have my eggnog without feeling guilty.
Try it, you'll like it!
