Medifast Dieter Stacey Harlan offers her simple solutions to enhancing Medifast Shakes and puddings.

I wanted to say thank you so much for the flavor drops!  I’ve been on the Medifast Diet, and the drops have made it possible for me to stick to it.  The variety keeps me going!

Medifast has been a really good experience for me so far, but it can be hard to stick to. 

I have making a great shake down to a science!  I have two shakers, and I usually make them up the night before.  Having the shake sit overnight seems to make them thicker and creamier and gets rid of most of the graininess. 

I fill the shaker to the 10 oz mark with water and then add the “base” (the shake powder).  I usually start with one vanilla and one chocolate shake, and then I add drops.  Some of the flavors are softer and some are stronger.  For instance, the Dolce De Leche, Double Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Caramel, Butterscotch and Butterfinger are pretty strong and I only use 2 or 3 drops of those. 
I usually use 5 or 6 drops of Snickerdoodle, Orange creamsicle, French Vanilla, Kahlua and Cream and Irish Cream.  The French Vanilla is actually pretty strong – I just love the flavor and tend to use too much! 

If I’d like to make any shake a little sweeter, I’ll add 1/3 to ∏ a packet of Splenda.  The next morning I add 3 or 4 cubes of ice and shake!  They always come out creamy and cold.  So good! 
 
I also add the flavor drops to the pudding, which I also make the night before.  I use just under 4 oz water ‘cause I like the pudding a bit thick.  When I was a kid Mom would always put a chocolate orange in our stocking at Christmas.  I LOVE chocolate and orange together!  I’ll add 2 drops of Double Chocolate, 4 drops Orange Creamsicle and 1/3 Splenda packet to the pudding. 

I really miss ice cream, so often I’ll freeze the pudding and it’s just like ice cream!  Orange Chocolate, Irish Cream and Butterfinger are my favorite “ice creams.”   Ooh, and Cinnamon or Dolce De Leche in the vanilla pudding.  Yummy!
 
I honestly did not think I could stick to the diet before I discovered the drops.  Fortunately for me, I found the link to your website on the Medifast website the second time I placed an order – just two weeks into the diet.  I still have far to go, but so far I’ve lost 34 lbs in 3 mos.
 
Thank you again so much for the wonderful drops! 

Medifast has some hot drink supplements, and I bet the drops will really dress those up, as well as the puddings and shakes!
