5 out of 5 stars Doesn't feel like you're dieting with this!   June 13, 2007
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Before the original cappuccino delight came out, I used to spoon coffee into one of their chocolate shakes--which could be time consuming, thereby defeating the whole purpose of drinking these shakes for a meal! Yes, I was getting coffee with my shake, but as a then-harried college student, I found myself reasoning that that there just had to be an easier way to get my breakfast and morning coffee in while doing several other things.

Then, the origial shake arrived, a dream come true. Yet, it tasted too sugary to easily consume on a regular basis, something still seemed to be off. Finally, market introduction of this product gave me a great meal.

The 'optima' formula has reduced sugar, and tastes REALLY good. I feel transported to a cafe and don't feel like I am consuming a diet product at all. Drinking it warm is okay if you absolutely have to, but this product tastes best when served ice cold. Now consuming them on my lunch break, I am enamored with the product and recomend it to other people who must multi-task and/or don't have a lot of space to store personal items.

Just one can is enough to satisfy me at lunch, much to the amazement of friends, co-workers, and some family members who continue on with much less-healthier options, and ironically aren't satiated. When what you eat is both good for you and tastes good, it is not a big deal.

I am another person who has had the 'odor' problem which another reviewer described after consuming this product. Honestly, I assumed it was just the workplace toilet (and we all know the frequency of cleanning can vary among sites). However, this solitary side effect quickly wore off me after using the bathroom and has not placed my life in immediate danger, so I would encourage people who are interested in nutritious and delicious coffee on the go to stock up! Maybe it's something in the chemical composition?

Good stuff! Fills me up! Taste lovely! Makes my pee smell like Cappuccino though! I drink enough water but it still smells like it.. afraid I'll eventually dislike it from smell aversion!


5 out of 5 stars Simply the best   March 5, 2007

I have tried all the SlimFast flavors. I like vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate flavors, but I'm not too fond of the SlimFast versions. The Cappuccino Delight is an entirely different matter. It is simply the best. Rather than regard it as an acceptable way to control weight, I look forward to it as a treat. I often mix it with eight ounces of soy or skim milk, add a spoonful of instant coffee and, if desired, a spoonful of cocoa mix, a packet of Splenda, and sometimes a small vanilla yogurt, with some ice. Blend it and it's a delicious, lo-cal Frappuccino.


5 out of 5 stars Fabulous blended with frozen coffee - instant frappuccino!   February 24, 2007

FABULOUS FRAPPUCCINO: Brew a strong cup of coffee, then pour it into a paper cup. Freeze overnight, remove paper cup, then blend (in Blender)with a room temperature can of Cappuccino Delight. Makes an instant and filling frozen energy drink!! In cold weather, brew the coffee as usual, mix in the can of Cappuccino Delight and nuke it til hot enough for your taste. A hot, frothy Cappuccino for 180 calories! Very good for ending hunger. Ultimate self control! I drink a can before a party or dinner date.
