Another idea for the runny shake problume...

Add more water, maybe an ice cube or two and a shake packet and swrill in the blender for a min.

Take half and put it away for later

Drink the other half

It makes a very smooth, thick, and crammy shake. I make these when I want a special treat for myself.

The key is only drink half since you mixed two packets. The second half comes back to life rather well with another swirl in the blender.

This is where that Magic Bullet comes in nice an handy with those mugs...

Grand idea!

Thanks so much!

I'm so glad I rediscovered this thread. I had given up on the pudding at the very beginning because it was just too sweet for my tastes. But after reading so many raves, I decided to give it another try to see if things had changed. I loved it, especially with a splash of hazelnut syrup mixed in.

The only scary thing is the LAST thing I want is to develop more of a sweet tooth than I had before. Most of the products tasted sickly sweet in the beginning, and now they don't bother me at all.

I'm glad that you like it now, Robin.

I agree, many of the things tasted too sweet to me, too (esp. the French Vanilla Shakes and they still do ). I like to mix my Chocolate Puddin' with a dab of cold coffee rather than cold water. It's very good.

I have been trying to use up a humungo supply of Chocolate Pudding reserves here at the MakeMeThinner Cottage since Terry forgot to change our Auto Ship order several months ago... and I found that it is best to use slightly less than 4 ounces of liquid, more like 3 ounces and a skosh more to make the Chocolate or it does not set up as much as I prefer. The Bananner does set up better for me than the Choc every time.

I'm pre-making it like I do with the chicken noodle soup and the chili. I mixed up three or four containers yesterday, and then popped some in the fridge and one in the freezer to try. They've all set up nicely, but it might be because they've had lots of time.

No coffee in mine, though. Blech. Hazelnut syrup, on the other hand ...

Yes, I agree as well. Sometimes is fine and creamy other times it's watery and I use the same exact (ON THE BUTTON) amount of water!
I think they don't package some of them correctly.
What are we going to do, I love them as well!!!

Ok - so I am obsessed currently with the chocolate pudding. I love it and eat at least 3 and sometimes 4 a day. I wanted to know - has anyone noticed a difference in how they set ? It seems like some boxes get very firm and others not so much so. I was just wondering ??? I use VERY cold water and let it sit a minute and then eat it right away. I prefer when it gets firm but really like it either way - I guess what I am asking is - is this just my imagination ??? It could be. Mytime

I absolutely love the chocolate pudding and it always mixes up really thick!!!(sometimes too thick and I have to add more water)

I always use a wisk to mix mine and maybe that makes a difference???

Yes, a whisk is ideal - most of us are so puddin' hungry we just shake it in our jar and then lick the lid!
