Answer 1

Yup those are gross and a few more lol

Comments

@makalu34365 shakes are definitely the best.  

---

@makalu34365 have you tried the mug cakes? the Mushroom risotto and Chili are yummy, esp with added riced cauliflower for bulk! delicious!  

Answer 2

I drank 2 to 3 shakes a day and the one restricted . I had tried the soup and I pretty much figured out no need to try others . Besides the shakes kept me full . I don’t think the soups etc will do that

Comments

@lonee The IP ready made shakes?  

Answer 3

I make burger buns out of the soups! With Janeva’s potato purée naan recipe or the mushroom pita recipe (basically the same thing). They’re actually pretty darn good and I eat them with mushroom broccoli (+1oz ground turkey to stick) burgers and WF ketchup.  

Comments

@@ziagos I sent you a request- can you tell more about this recipe for the burger?  

---

1 c ground mushrooms (in a blender or processor) 1 c ground broccoli, 8 oz ground turkey - split into 8 servings + your own seasonings

Answer 4

Potato puree for a batter on squash

Answer 5

That sucks that you have to buy the box.  

Answer 6

I felt the same way. I use the shakes. My clinic gave me a recipe for muffins. It’s been a life saver. 1 packet of either maple oatmeal apple oatmeal or crispy cereal or pancake mix plus 1 packet of either chocolate shake mix vanilla shake mix or wild berry shake mix or vanilla chai mix this with 1/3 cup of egg whites 1/3 cup of water 1tsp of olive oil and 1 tsp of baking powder. You can add in a tablespoon of WF fruit spread or WF chocolate syrup for flavour. Bake at 350 for about 12-15 min. It makes 4-6 muffins depending on your pan. 2-3 is equal to 1 unrestricted. I usually drizzle some WF syrup on top or add some cinnamon into the batter for added flavor. So many varieties are possible and super yummy  

Comments

@embree this sounds great! I hate the maple oatmeal but this sounds delicious. I wonder if cappuccino shakes will work

---

@unwarranted449 as long as it’s the powder your good!  

---

Its not, but maybe I’ll try it.  

---

@makalu34365 hahaha yup!  

---

@fabrice my clinic amazon and the local metro. I live in Ontario

Answer 7

I actually like the choc coconut bars, Carmel peanut bars, apple oatmeal but I add cinnamon and the premade vanilla shakes aren’t bad with coffee or espresso. I’m not willing to try anything else until I can’t eat those anymore. People rave about the choc soy puffs.  

Answer 8

I don’t mind any of them. I paid for them, I’ll eat them (dammit), but then I grew up a paid up for life member of the Clean Your Plate Club AND the Sit there all night until you do eat it, AND the fine, go to bed and it’s there for breakfast. And mom made liver and onions regularly. The problem is that we ALL have become so used to the over processed foods with fats and salts and SUGAR and soooooo many other things that are terrible for us that trying to break those bad habits is freakin’ HARD. BE A USMarine mindset. do it. Chug it. Swallow it. It’s nourishment. If you just can’t, then ask if there’s a local IP group and start a swap meet. My coach sells individual packs of any product. Yours might?  

Answer 9

Chicken soup: sauté green onion & celery. Just to soften. Add shredded chicken to warm and steamed cauliflower rice. Heat the soup but when you measure the water, add an extra 2oz of water when measuring. Once done, add shredded chicken, green onion, celery and pepper to taste. The same as above for mushroom soup but sauté mushrooms with the green onion and celery. Enjoy!  

Comments

Measure all your veggies to make up the 2C you need.  

---

@beers9790 I like your suggestions but I use chicken broth instead of water with IP soups. Gives it more flavor.  

---

@qr48 ooh I’ve done that too! Forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder!  

Answer 10

I use skinny pasta with steamed broccoli and cauliflower and add ground meat with sausage seasoning and small amount of pasta sauce.  

Answer 11

I love the soups  

Comments

@makalu34365 Tomato basil one is pretty good!  

Answer 12

I can buy singles. She let me rerun it if I didn’t like it!  

Answer 13

You can use the soups to add flavor to other things. I make mock cauliflower risotto. I first stir fry riced cauliflower with a tablespoon of olive oil. I then make a sauce using a few teaspoons of soup mix, mixed into about 4oz of warmed approved broth with added garlic and onion powders. Mix that into the cauliflower and continue to stir fry until sauce has thickened. So yummy!  

Answer 14

Hubby can buy singles and they always say if he don't like it he can bring it back

Answer 15

I puree steamed veggies in the soups and make them thick and much more palatable!  

Comments

@evesham50596 good idea!  

Answer 16

I tried the tomato soup and couldn’t even go beyond first sip.  

Comments

It makes a good bread.  

Answer 17

I live on the drinks and bars. Smoothies with the pudding mixes are great. Add some marshmallow from Walden Farms and it’s like a smoothie. All the regular food products are horrible.  

Comments

@makalu34365 from Amazon. With the vanilla pudding mix and lemon extract it tastes like a fluffy lemon soft serve. Recipe is in the cookbook.  

---

It is. I’ve been on it since August and it becomes routine. I refuse to eat that horrible stuff. They all have that weird taste. Chemical? Idk?  

Answer 18

I stick to the vanilla drink mix bcz I can’t stand the soups or most of the chips (salt & vinegar ). I do like the BBQ chips but would want to eat them all at once. they’re that good. Instead I try to make zucchini chips in the air fryer.  

Comments

@makalu34365 got mine at Walmart for about $60-90. It has a rotisserie and baskets, too. You’ll love it!  

---

@makalu34365 Get on QVC so you can make tiny payments! The thing works great! You can even air fry brussels sprouts!  

---

@plectrum99 not at all. the trays come out. I’m not a huge fan of the round basket though since that one is harder to clean if something burns on it (zucchini chips) since you can’t soak it with all the holes.  

Answer 19

Most things have to be doctored or they taste like chemicals to me.  

Answer 20

Pinterest has some great recipes that includes the packets.  

Answer 21

I love the balsamic vinegar dressing with a good salad, olive oil, and salt. I actually like it better than any of the WF dressings.  

Answer 22

I love the cheese and broccoli soup. I love the recipe book they have to Dr them up!  

Answer 23

Some take a lot of doctoring.  

Answer 24

I really like the chicken noodle soup lol so funny how different taste buds can be

Answer 25

I honestly only use shakes or puddings. I have tried some bars but still a huge fan of rather drinking my stuff then trying to deal with other things lol

Answer 26

I’ve tried a lot of stuff and will be returning most of it in favor of drinks alone. I’m keeping the rotini though.  

Answer 27

I mostly eat then bars and pre-made shakes. I’ve tried the creamy chicken soup, mug cake, and oatmeal and decided the “packages” are not good.  

Answer 28

Chicken soup add broccoli Mushrooms soup I add to more mushrooms and poured over chicken and baked it

Answer 29

The beef stroganoff is bad? I was thinking of buying it for convenience

Comments

@makalu34365 hahaha-will pass

---

@hendley Bye Lick I like the beef stroganoff. So does my hubby. It’s not bad.  

---

@lonee Bell Ingram I guess I may try it-will b convenient for the days I work for dinner

Answer 30

Those are my gags too oh and pink tomato soup

Answer 31

I blend in vegetables & add pepper, onion powder, garlic powder & not sauce to the cream chicken soup. Sometimes add more low sodium chicken broth. Doable that way.
