If you’re doing this, and not eating regular protein for dinner (meat, chicken, fish, seafood) make sure you have 5 packets a day, plus suggest blending your 4 cups of veggies with the packets. For me, spinach works well with the Pina Colada or Mango Peach drinks. If my husband wants something for dinner that is not protocol, I’ll fix what he wants , then I’ll have 2 packets (soup and something else)for dinner plus required veggies.
