So you’re ready to lose some weight and you’ve heard all the buzz about Medifast. You’ve convinced yourself that it is probably worth trying but you’re curious how the food really tastes. I’m here to tell you… it’s pretty great. Especially the Medifast shakes which are the foundation of the whole program.
Before you place your first order you should know that there are two different types of Medifast shakes: Powdered mixes and ready-to-drink. My preference is the powdered mix because I can adjust the amount of water to get the consistency I like. For my taste, the ready-to-drink shakes are a little thin. They remind me of chocolate milk.
Medifast shakes are available in six different flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Orange, Banana and Swiss Mocha. I like all of them except for the Swiss Mocha.
Your first order comes with a little plastic shaker jar. You just add the mix and some cold water and shake it vigorously. Your shake is complete. It’s not really thick or creamy enough to make you mistake it for a milk shake, but it tastes good and will fill you up.
If you want to really supercharge your shake and take it to the next level, I highly recommend getting a Rocket Blender. A Rocket Blender is a small single-serving style blender that’s very similar to the Magic Bullet (but a lot cheaper). I bought one of these when I was getting tired of the shakes and it totally re-energized me about Medifast.
To make your shake in the Rocket Blender, just add the ingredients but add a little less water than recommended. Add some ice. After you do this a few times you will start to realize your preference as far as the amount of ice. Start with a little bit and then gradually add ice to increase the thickness of your shake. Blend it up and it’s ready to drink. Now, your Medifast shake actually tastes like a real milkshake. Delicious!
