  • I don't think this is much of a hack but I love canned okra and I always add 1/2 - 1 can to the spaghetti or the chili when I have it.

  • Quote: We split a chocolate mug cake into 2 portions and mix a spiced up pudding packet ( Dark Chocolate , Lemon, or Banana) with a little extra water to make it into a sauce to pour over the top.
    Yummy! I especially like your idea Nylan of splitting up dark chocolate pudding pouring in glasses then pouring half of banana on top and the grateing fresh nutmeg on top! That was the BEST!
  • WOW!! All of these sound really good. I will start experimenting after my first WI tomorrow. thank you all for posting.
  • I don't know if anyone's done it before but today I made the crispy cereal into flatbread It was really yummy and crunchy. You can still feel a bit of sweetness but if you add salt & garlic it doesn't really taste sweet.
    I made into a sandwich today and it was really yummy.

    Just mix everything the same way you mix it to make the pancakes from the cereal, but put into a bread mold and bake until the top is brown (around 15-20 min).
  • There are tons of pudding and drink hacks here! Anyone do anything fun with the soy patty?

  • I totally agree! The pudding makes a better shake anyway and if it saves in carbs you can have a higher carb vegetable later on. :-)
  • Wild berry yogurt drink
    I prepared my wild berry yogurt drink mix in the shaker bottle as directed. Then I crushed about four or five medium ice cubes in my blender, added the wild berry drink mix, about a heaping teaspoon of cocoa powder, a dash of cinnamon, and about half a capful of vanilla extract.

    Now I probably will not be ordering the wild berry yogurt drink mix again, but this way I was able to use the packet, it was a decent drink, and now I don't have to use it anymore. Ta-da!
  • Quote: I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to make some of the packets I have accumulated (and absolutely cannot stomach) taste better. I hate that I have wasted all this money on packages that have been sitting in my cupboard for months simply because I cannot handle the taste. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    -Butterscotch and Strawberry Pudding
    -Wildberry Yogurt drink
    -Blueberry-cran granata drink

    Thanks so much!!
    I mix the Blueberry-Cran Granita Drink with the Raspberry Jelly and 9oz of hot water. Split into two dishes & refrigerate. Makes two gelatin desserts.
  • I stole the idea for half strawberry pudding mixed with half vanilla pudding, added 8 oz water, and mixed with ice. Then I added a splash of orange/tangerine mio and hint of stevia and BAHM! Orange strawberry julius!! it was heaven!!
  • Probably an old one but for the newer kids on the block (like me):
    French toast:
    prepare omelet mix
    add 1 tsp vanilla and cinnamon
    cook omelet and try to flip the whole thing intact (I'm still trying to master this part!! LOL)
    overcook slightly so that the outside is a little crispy.
    add mrs mcbutter and WF syrup and voila!!!!!
    Enjoy

  • Quote: I like the chocolate pudding with a dash of cayenne pepper. I know it sounds weird, but it tastes great and I don't make it any other way now

    One other thing that I do, is mix up the entire box of packets at the same time, using a large bowl and a hand mixer. Each serving fits perfectly into a Ziploc 1 cup storage container. They turn out so creamy and easily stack 3 or 4 high in the fridge, so they're ready to grab and go.
    this is really good ty
