Yea, I like to use almost an entire cup of water as opposed to only half...

I don't see this in the guide....the box says 6 - 8 oz (i always put 8)...the guide that I see online says the same. Where do you see 1/2 cup?.

The only way it would work with 1/2 cup is if they cut back on how much shake mix they put in the envelopes and I sure hope they aren't doing that!..

I think I put closer to 10 oz...lol.

Shake shake shake!..

I always use 1 cup of water, 2 cups of ice and use the magic bullet to make wonderful thick shakes. The puddings call for 1/2 cup of water though...

I use a cup of ice plus the water and blend it forever until it sort of turns into whipped cream.... yum!..

I do the same thing gatita, make it to a milkshake & drink it up!..

Hi, today is my first day and I am very excited about how good everythings tastes - I am very pleasantly surprised. I am not good with the microwave thoughx(as I don't own one at home) but used it at work. MY oatmeal was very soupy... any reccomendation on how much water to use?.

Ps. Great support from everyone - has really helped me make the decision to stay focused.

I use 8 ounces of H2O also, I blend in blender then place in fridge for 10 to 15 min. then I add alot of ice, Letting it sit in fridge, doubles the size of the drink, I have a 24 ounce glass I drink it in and I can't get all of it in there, I go back for seconds. How do you make it in the bullet?..

For the oatmeal at work, I found it always boils over in the microwave. So, instead I add 5 oz of boiling water, stir & loosely cover the shaker. I let it sit on my desk for 2 minutes or so & it is cooked & nice and thick. PS - don't cover tightly or it will shoot off from the pressure built up by the steam. LOL..

The shakes recipes on the web-site!! NOT on the 'guide' on the boxes of shakes....there is a page on the site with recipes for mudslides, peanut butter shakes, etc.....I thought it was weird they only called for 1/2 cup water!..
