Get Creative With Medifast Food

  • I keep seeing posts by folks who have a hard time with the Medifast food, so I thought I'd post my little "mini-cookbook" here on this thread.

    I know these have all been mentioned before, but it doesn't hurt to remind newbies:

    Shakes - use diet soda flavors instead of water.
    Puddings - I also use diet soda in place of water. It makes a nice texture and flavor to it. Then I top it off with a dash of DaVinci sugar free syrup.
    Soups - Add garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder, butter buds, splenda, etc. etc. to jazz 'em up.
    Chili - add chili powder, splenda, black pepper or red pepper a little Molly McButter cheese powder.
    Oatmeal - add a pinch of salt, butter buds, splenda, sugar free syrups.

    Davinci makes a great peanut butter flavored syrup.

    The point is...it's hospital food folks. You have to get a little creative to make it taste even better than it does.
  • What kind of diet soda do you mix with the shakes?
  • I love the diet soda with the shakes.You can use any diet flavor you like.Rootbeer with vanilla is great,orange with the orange shake.Also in the vanilla or Choc. sometimes I have added a spoonfull of caffeine free instant coffee with a little hazelnut davinci syrup.The syrups really help.I am open to any ideas.
  • Thanks for the great ideas, Tex! Appreciate!
