I start my pre op diet tomorrow, so I am trying out the shakes today and it is too sweet. I had to buy the Bariatric Advantage products at the request of my surgeon, so I have the vanilla and chocolate powder mixes. My question is, is there anything besides more Water to make them not so sweet??? TIA

There are a couple of things that are pretty easy to do. One is to add some plain greek yogurt to the mix- the yogurt's tartness helps tame the sweetness. Another is, as you suggest, dilution - I like my shakes thick, like a real milkshake, so I blended it up in a blender with the milk and added ice to thicken it up; then if the flavor was too weak, add unsweetened cocoa powder or vanilla extract to boost the flavor without added sweetness.

Thank you, I will try this
