Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail
If you fail to plan, you have planned to fail. Proactively pre-plan your meals every day so your weight loss program is a success! See below on how I often preplan to make my Medifast meals more mobile.
Medifast Muffins
In the photo above you'll see my latest baking project. I made 3 dozen Medifast Muffins from the Medifast oatmeal (see my Medifast recipes). Some of them I froze for future needs. They pack nicely in a Hefty snack-sized plastic baggie for individual meals and to ensure portion control.
Medifast Shakes
I love the Medifast Ready to Drink Shakes, but they come in a carton premixed. Since I like to reflavor my Medifast shakes sometimes, I premix my own Medifast shakes in bulk (see photo above). All I do is premix 3 or 4 shakes at a time in the blender, add the flavoring, and pour into 8-ounce empty water bottles (check your local grocery store). It's important to only premix 3 or 4 shakes at a time in the blender and on low speed. The shakes foam when blended and you'll need to let them settle a bit before pouring the shake mixture into the bottles.
The more you preplan your meals based on your daily activities, the more you ensure success on the program!

Hi Karen. I use a mini-muffin silicone baking pan. It makes 8 mini-muffins at a time. I bought it at Walmart. The flavors of these Medifast Muffins are Chocolate Almond, Peanut Butter, Banana and Chocolate Raspberry. Yummm :)
