Is the fruit punch a supplement like the shake? Did you like it? Thanks in advance.

I like the fruit punch mixed with diet 7 up. I also mix the cranberry mango punch with diet 7 up . Plus the cranberry mango is good as a hot drink too. And yes, it is a meal replacement.

All of the Medifast products are really rather versatile. I prefer the Peach and Raspberry Iced Teas served hot. For some reason they seem like a 'puny' meal replacement when I make them cold and I have the tendency to guzzle them down too quickly when I make them with a couple of ice cubes but I sip them slowly when I make them hot.

I get cold very easily and having the Cranberry Mango or the Iced Teas made hot keeps me cozy.

Remember to try the Chai Latte and the Instant Cappuccino made in the blender, too - they are like a Starbuck's Frappachino!

I like the Creamy Tomato Soup or the Robust Tomato Fast Soup (Newbies, the Fast Soup is NOT a complete meal replacement but rather a snack item) made with cold water, a hefty dash of Tabasco Sauce and chilled in the summer time - it is like having a glass of V-8 Juice.

I just tried the Fruit Punch and the Cranberry Mango and really enjoy them both. I like things a little more tart so I mix them with 16 oz. of water and a Crystal Lite Lemonade on the Go Packet served over ice. Ummm, very refreshing!!

Great idea, Drama Queen!

The Fruit Punch is a bit too sweet for my liking so I will try your idea of adding the Crystal Light Lemon Ade. I know I added a squeeze of lime or lemon juice to tone down the Fruit Punch. I really like the Crystal Light Pink Grapefruit flavor drink so I might try that flavor in the Fruit Punch, too. The extra water sounds like a good plan. Thank you, DQ!

YUMMY, Thanks everybody for your input. I just don't hear those drinks talked about very often.

for some reason i'm not liking the cappacino anymore and it has been sitting around. how do you mix it as a cold drink?

re: Medifast Cappuccino

It is caffeine-free so you’ll be able to slurp late at night and still be able to doze off to slumberland and dream of skinny days ahead.

The cool thing about a typically hot drink is that the Medifast Cappuccino tastes totally yummah made cold. I prefer it that way.

You can make it in your Fast Shake shaker jar with 8 ounces of water and 1-2 ice cubes or you can live it up and do it Barista-style! Tie a green apron around your slimmin’ waist ~

If you don’t have a Magic Bullet® yet, haul out the blender:

I call it the Cappi Frappi, as it reminds me of the Starbuck’s Frappachino

6 ounces of cold water (you may want to thin it down with more water)
1 packet of the Medifast Cappuccino
Whirl
Add 1 cup+ crushed ice

I like to add ½ tsp instant coffee crystals

Additional flavor suggestions:
DaVinci® Sugar Free Chocolate, Caramel (oh, yeah!) or Hazelnut Syrup
Vanilla or Almond extract (teensy bit, extracts are strong)
dash of cinnamon

Kick back, Bunkster and have a cool one…THINk about all the thinny things you can do now that you choose to lose the Medifast way.

I love the fruit punch in a tall glass with extra water, a ton of ice and a splash of key lime juice. VERY refreshing on a hot day or sitting by the pool!

Speaking of pop here's a little laugh

So, here I am back on plan as of yesterday. Being a re-starter, I felt I basically knew all the tweeks, and tricks... BOY, WAS I WRONG!

Moving on... I decided to mix dutch chocolate with diet cherry vanilla dr. pepper. Silly me, being a cook as well, I should have known... DO NOT SHAKE JAR! I REPEAT, DO NOT SHAKE JAR!!!!!! i don''t know what i was thinking but after three shakes of the jar, I realized what the heck i was doing and before I realized, the cap blew off like a rocket going into space and it splattered in four surrounding rooms next to my kitchen... It looked like the Cat in the Hat came over to play... My children immediately went to their rooms laughing! I have never ever done anything as silly. I was not thinking, obviously! it was so funny. My dh was not home so I was hurrying to clean it up before he got home... I wouldn't want him to rub it in, especially with all the complaining I do about not taking food out of the kitchen/dining room.

As I was on the ladder scrubbing the ceiling, lights, etc...guess who walked in... yeppers.... He was gloating! On cloud nine because he didn't make the mess! His response, "I DIDN'T DO IT!" and walked right past me laughing! It was very funny! I guess you had to of been there!

I would absolutely love to mix up a shake with pop. I am just now starting to like pop here and there. How are you guys mixing it up??????

I have found for me it works best in the blender. Just leave the cap a tiny bit ajar to let the air escape. I love shakes mixed with diet soda, but it's so cold here and I'm always cold. It'll have to wait till spring.

Welcome back and good luck!

[THINKTHIN]

Thank you!!!! I will try it today!!!!

[Jan]

Ahhhh Haaaa
Another victim -- hummmm -- include me in that too. I think I was just working on autopilot one morning -- poured in a diet chocolate soda, emptied my package of dutch chocolate -- on with the lid-- couple of shakes and the rest is history!!! Why do we always have to do this with the Dutch Chocolate???? Those little flecks show up everywhere!!! I still find a speck or two in the most unusual places.
Oh well certainly "livens up" our day. I'm just thankful the dog wasn't here or she'd run thru the mess and I would have had it alllllll over the house. (now I always use the blender too)

awe.....the confessions are starting! :-)

it was so funny that you mentioned you found a speck here and there! i have a square window (without the window, not sure of the proper name) in my kitchen that looks into the living room, well, imagine what i found! you guessed it... so, now that made five rooms it hit, vice only four... what a mess! i am sure i'll be finding some later on today! LOL.... If any more spots appear, i guess i'll have to just paint my whole house dutch chocolate brown! :-)

happy losing~
