Week 9, D5-7 I need my daily FIXX!

Okay-- I have been ranting and raving about FORM for the past 2 months and I don't think I have given enough attention to the seriously awesome companion product FIXX! I have been using sample packs for the last couple of months which didn't have any of the nutritional information printed on them. I knew the ingredients were unlike any other meal replacement shake out there but I was not prepared for how unbelievable the nurtritional information is!

I finally got my first official "labeled" box of shakes - I was stunned! Yes, stunned...speechless...amazed...ecstatic...elated....and I don't know what else! Check this out: only 100 calories! 10 grams of protein! Only 7 grams of carbs, 5 of which are Dietary Fiber and less than 1 gram of sugar (which is honey crystals)! Only 15 calories from fat! It has a full serving of vegetables and a full serving of fruit. It has vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, probiotics, digestive enzymes, --- but only 100 calories? Are you kidding me??!! That is unheard of! A single low fat yogurt has 100 calories-- a cheese stick has 100 calories-- but a whole meal? No-freaking-way!

I have been eating protein bars as a snack sometimes in the afternoons that have 160 calories and all these weird ingredients that I have never heard of and can't pronounce...not to mention that tell tell underlying chalk taste they always have. No more-- I am not only going to get my FIXX in the morning, but again in the afternoon and maybe even as an evening snack (before 8:30 of course!).

For those of you that need more variety then I do, you can blend it with milk, ice, berries, bananas... just about anything! I will stick to my 20 oz. of water (I like it thin, chilled and refreshing) --I just take a 24 oz. water bottle, drink it down about 4 ounces, pour the FIXX in and shake it up! A meal perfect for a busy mom!

Ok Annette! I took your advice last night on the Fixx and I used 2 cups of milk, 8 ice cubes and then the Fixx. It tastes SO much better! Thank you, thank you!!
