Diet And Weight Loss Tips!

Shakes are the foundation of the popular Medifast weight loss program. Medifast shakes come in a variety of flavors and are designed to deliver an optimal blend of calories and nutrients. The good news is that they taste pretty great and make the first few weeks of the program really easy. However, it’s hard to eat the same thing over and over for very long. Luckily, there are a few ways to enhance your Medifast shakes when you get over your initial enthusiasm.

When you receive your first order, you’ll also receive a plastic shaker jar. This makes shake preparation super-easy. Just add the ingredients, shake everything up and you’re ready to drink.

However, I wouldn’t really consider it a shake. The texture is not very creamy and unless you add some ice, it’s not very cold. I recently stumbled upon something that fixes this in a pretty awesome way.

I bought a Rocket blender and now I use it on a daily basis to mix my shakes. I add the ingredients in the portions the package instructs, but I leave out a little of the water. I add some ice and blend it until it is a thick, cold shake.

You’ll have to experiment a little bit to figure out the portions that work good for you. Many Medifast enthusiasts are in love with the Magic Bullet blender, but the Rocket blender is substantially cheaper and you can easily find one at your local Target or Wal-Mart. I’ve had no trouble with mine and I use it at least twice per day.

Another way to jazz up your Medifast Shakes is to use one of the many recipes that have been developed by the Medifast community. Most of these recipes are ultra-simple, but people have even figured out ways to turn shakes into cakes. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with some baking powder and eggs.
