My favorite way to consume Optifast is in my morning latte.
Basic Optifast Latte
This instructions show you the basic steps for using Optifast to make yourself a latte.
Equipment
- Coffee Maker
- Blender bottle or Milk Frother
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Coffee I use my Keurig, but any brewed coffee will work.
- 4 ounces water I prefer warm water. Adjust the temperature of your water so your final latte will be of the desired temperature.
- 1 packet Vanilla Optifast Some people also use Chocolate Optifast. You could also use other meal replacement shakes if you'd prefer.
- 2 Pumps Sugar Free Syrup Any flavor. I like Torani. You can also use extracts if you don't want the extra sweetness.
Instructions
Step 1: Brew your coffee.
- Brew 12 ounces of your favorite coffee.
Step 2: Make your Optifast creamer.
- Put 4 ounces of warm water in a blender bottle (or measuring glass if using the frother.)
- Add Vanilla Optifast to the water.
- Add 2 pumps of your favorite sugar free syrup to the blender bottle. Torani sugar free syrups are easy to use and delicious.
- For additional flavor or less sweetness you can also use unsweetened flavorings, like extracts of flavor concentrates. I like Lorann oils brand, Penzeys spices, and Nielsen-Massey the best.
- I keep my flavorings in dropper bottles to make it easier to control the amounts.
Step 4: Add the "creamer" to your coffee.
- Stir your creamer into your brewed coffee.
- Stir to blend.
Step 4: Feel free to top your latte to make it more enjoyable.
- Sometimes I like to top my lattes with fat free Ready Wip.
- With or without the Ready Wip, spices like cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice really jazz up your latte without adding any sugar or calories. I also sometimes use sugar free sprinkles.
Enjoy, but don't forget to add your latte to your food journal.
- Make sure to add your latte to food log, so you can track what you are eating.
