My husband is currently trying to lose weight with a medical reason and his doctor recommended to try Nestlé’s ‘OPTIFAST’ products (shakes, soups, etc.) to reduce calorie intake by replacing meals with the products. I was curious about what they taste like and I tried vanilla flavoured shake today. It tasted much better than I expected, but I couldn’t drink it. As I didn’t want to waste it, I added Gelatine and made it into jelly. The calorie of 1 teaspoon of Gelatine Powder is negligible and Gelatine is basically protein. The chilled jelly was actually delicious and I enjoyed eating it. This idea might help some people who struggle to drink weight management shakes because of their taste.
