Oatmeal

To be the proper consistency, it usually requires more water than the directions say and each flavor is different. It may take some trial-and-error to get it just right. Stir half way through heating to avoid overflow.  Add a splash of fat free milk & sprinkle with Brown Sugar Splenda for some extra flavor.

Scrambled Eggs

In a bowl, stir egg powder and ½ cup water together and let sit for a few minutes.  To improve texture, stir in ¼ cup of Egg Beaters.  Cook in Pam coated skillet just like normal scrambled eggs.

Soups

For a softer consistency, pre-soak in water or fat free/low sodium broth before heating. The longer you pre-soak, the more re-constituted it will be.  Bullion cube/graduals may be added for extra flavor.

Chili

For a softer consistency, pre-soak in water before heating. The longer you pre-soak, the more re-constituted it will be.  Salsa or hot sauce may be added for extra flavor.

Shakes

Blend in Medifast Health Mate Blender or similar personal blender for a smooth consistency.  Shakes come out smooth and lump-free when blended instead of shaken.

Hot Drinks

Before you heat, blend in Health Mate Blender for a smooth consistency.  Hot drinks can also be made cold, as shakes, and come out best when blended not shaken.

Pudding

Blend in Health Mate Blender for a smooth consistency.  Pudding can be made into a shake by adding extra water and blending.  Pudding can also be made into a popsicle by pouring into a popsicle mold and freezing.
