This is the newest thing I tried. What is it? : A one minute solution when you don't have time, to prevent you from skipping meals! Taste: I took the chocolate flavor and it was nice. It comes in two other flavors- Neutral and Vanilla Takeaway: You need to mix the contents of the packet with 350ml cold water and have it. It was a bit too much for me so next time I'll try using half of it with 175ml water. Secondly, it recommends only cold water so I don't know how it'd taste with regular room temperature water, but if any of you try it out, ping me! Would I buy it again? : YES! Perfect supplement for breakfast, evening junk food cravings and for treks or whenever you're travelling! How can you buy it?: You can find it on www.amazon.in Let me know what you think of it!
