bumping smileys/smiley4.gif

I'd like to know about Figure 8 in general. Has it worked for anyone here?

It just became available on the 1st. I know of some that are waiting on thier shipments...

Yumm, chai latte sounds good smileys/smiley1.gif

I am STILL waiting!

I added these to my autoship so I could get the extra 20% off. They both sound very tasty. I can't wait to receive my autoship!

I had added them to my autoship too.

I am going to keep bumping this until someone has tasted it! I am dying to know!


(ok, I know that I am sounding a bit obsessed! Sorry smileys/smiley9.gif)

I am dying to try these 2 new ones also! I am scheduled to get mine tomorrow(Wed) YEAH! I will post as soon as I try them. Also, I have used the system since April last yr and love it and have had great success. Great for maintenence when you reach your goal also!smileys/smiley2.gif

still waiting. mine is due to arrive tomorrow.

I love to mix the vanilla protein and the orange fibretogether, it is really filling. I am sad they took away the mocha chews. Why not get rid of the orange chews insteadsmileys/smiley36.gif

Ithought we did get rid of the orange chews? I thought it we carry the berry chews and the chocolate chews on a regular basis now.

Thats what is says on the site. Chocolate and berry, no orange. smileys/smiley2.gif

Thanks godness, but are they not still part of the set? I loved the mocha chewssmileys/smiley19.gif

smileys/smiley19.gifI'm gonna miss them!

Please tell me so! I can't wait any longer to know!

I get my Chai Latte tomorrow - the 12th. I love Chai tea, so I'm hoping this is just as good!!

I got mine today and I love them both! The peanut butter chews remind me of the hallowen candy that is peanut butter flavor and comes in orange and black wrappers, yummy! The chai latte is good, very spicy(cinnamon). I think that I will try it heated up in the morning and when I get more vanilla shake I am going to try mixing the two cuz my favorite winter-time drink is a vanilla chai tea! Anyway, they are both great and it is great to have a new flavor to add! I give them 2 thumbs up!smileys/smiley2.gif

I am glad you like them! I had a client asking about them, now I can let me know!

Ok, I got my Chai Latte today and I was so looking forward to sampling it, especially since I really like my chai tea.


So, I make a serving up - 7 oz water and 1 scoop of powder, mixed it up in my Quick Shake and took a sip. . . it was AWFUL tasting!!smileys/smiley5.gif


I had my DH taste it, he too thought it tasted gross. I'm going to try mixing it with something else (another flavor or even milk, instead of water) and hope it gets better.


Sadly disappointed.


Michele

Michele,


Just out of curiousity...Do you like the Vanilla and Chocolate shakes?

I don't know. . .I just signed up this January. If the chocolate one is like the Nestle Instant Breakfast mixes or like Slim Fast shakes, then I would probably like that one.


I'm not a big fan of vanilla, so I probably wouldn't even try that one.


Like, I said, I think that I'm going to try mixing it with milk instead of water, even warm it up - bring out the cinnamom flavoring more.


Thanks for asking.

Try mixing it with ice in a blender rather than just water. smileys/smiley4.gif

I agree with what Jennifer says about using a blender. Also, since you have been using products that have sugar in them vs. stevia, it takes some time for your taste to adjust.


Another tip is to make a smoothie using milk and fruit.


There's lots of options!


Meg

Michele,


Sorry to hear it wasn't that great. When we got home last night, I told DH about how Ruth Ann always blends hers. We're thinking that might be better. I haven't tried it yet, but for the nutritional value, I'm willing to give it a try.


Cool to see you here!

Well, I am surprised to hear that you disliked it that much. I tried it and liked it, goes to show that everything is not for everyone. Also, I have been using the choc and van shakes for several months fo I am used to the taste they have. I mix the choc and van 1/2 and 1/2, makes it a lot like the instant breakfast milk choc. I also tried the chai latte heated up and didn't care for it that way, kinda weird tasting to me. Brought more of the cinnamon taste, maybe it was tooo much for me that way, so maybe you should try it. Give it a few tries to get used to it.smileys/smiley2.gif

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I'm definetely give it few more tries before giving up on it - especially since it is somethingnew to me.smileys/smiley1.gif


I also just ordered the chocolate shake too. That should be in soon so I can start trying that one too.


Thanks again,


Michele

I am chiming in with Michelle, my hubby tried it today and he said, "that, right there, that I did, is a testament to how much I love you and want to support you. Because it was disgusting!IT tastes like dirt!"


I tried a sip and nearly spit (spat?)it out on the spot. I did get a blender for Christmas, so I guess I need to set it up. Also, I got some vanilla yogurt I will try mixing it up with some ice and that in the blender and see if it is any better.


I tried the vailla a few months ago and couldn't stomach it either. The chalky texture is hard to handle. The stevia doesn't bother me, it is the texture.

I think you will find that when you mix it in a blender with ice and maybe some other items (get creative) it will be better. But, remember, almost any shake you try is going to have a strange taste when it is good for you! I used to drink protein shakes from the gym smileys/smiley11.gifall the time, these are far better!smileys/smiley4.gif

ok - i just got the peanut butter chews and can't stand them!! What an aweful taste to leave in your mouth!! I'd take the orange ones any day compared to these -- guess I'll stick to the berry ones - they're WAAAYYY better!

That scares me because Idon't likethe berry one! lol


I guess I will have to try them for myself. I have 5 unopened boxes in my guest room right now and I think the PB chews are in one of them. I'll let you know what I think!

Just wanted to everyone an update on my chai experience. . .


I made it today in my blender with milk and added some banana - much better. smileys/smiley1.gif


I think I'm becoming acustomed to the "better for me" protien part of the flavoring!!'


Michele

Great Michelle!

Ok, I tried the PB chews and I really liked them! They really do taste like the halloweed chews that come in the orange and black wrappers. I think their great! I haven't tried the Chai Latte...I don't really like Chai...or lattes for that matter! smileys/smiley36.gif

I'm glad you liked the PB chews -- I am a huge fan of PB (and chocolate never hurts either!). I just can't get over the aftertaste they leave. I figure I will try them again - maybe tonight before dinner and see if I can get used to it. I'm not a huge chai fan either - but I really like mixing the vanilla with the orange or the chocolate - it seems to take the chalkiness out. I've started adding skim milk and berries to the vanilla in the am's and that really made it taste good.

Hey!! I just found out that the PB chews are only available until the end of this month or until they are sold out.


I am going to really stock up on them this month then!! I love them!!
