Mixing Directions For Cambridge Products
 

Unless otherwise noted in individual recipes, for best results use an electric blender (you will get  a smoother, creamier product). Pour into a glass or dish and serve!  Delicious! 

For Cold Drinks 

1.    Fill blender with water and ice to the 8-10 ounce level marking. 
2.    Add your Cambridge formula. 
3.    Blend 15 - 20 seconds. 

For Hot Drinks, Soups & Oats 

1.    Fill blender with 8 ounces hot water. 
2.    Add your Cambridge formula. 
3.    Blend 15 - 20 seconds. 

Important: When mixing hot drinks, blenders should have a pressure release valve or hold the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. 

You can drink your oats as a 'breakfast shake" or follow the optional cooking instructions found on the Super Oats label. 

For a thicker, shake like or slurpee consistency, add 1/3 cup crushed ice to any flavor and blend till thick and smooth. * If an electric blender is not available, use a shaker with a secure lid and shake vigorously until mixed. 

 There are many palate pleasing variations to the basic instructions.  Get creative - experiment to come up with your own favorites! 

Here are a few suggestions to help you get started: 

  •  Use a non caloric sweetener, if you prefer a sweeter taste. 
  •  For greater flavor variety, add 1/2 teaspoon of any non calorice food flavorings .
  • Mix drinks with diet sodas, coffee or fruit juices. 
  • Add fresh or frozen fruits to the drinks and  oats. 
  • Your favorite seasonings and spices will add flavor to soups. Cooked vegetables can also be added to the soups.---

Helpful Hints

  • Do not skip any servings of Cambridge products. If eating conventional foods, have your Cambridge serving up to 30 minutes before meals. 
  • Take the time to get to know yourself - your eating habits and patterns, your strengths and needs. Be honest!  No one else will know. And, the end result will be that you can learn to say "no" to poor eating, and "yes" to positive change! 
  • Learn about high fat foods and practice, practice, practice!  Select simple basic foods unadorned by sauces or gravies. Choose small portions of meat, seafood or poultry, broiled or baked. Add steamed or micro waved veggies, salads and fruits. You can even add pasta, rice, potato or bread, for good tasting, good for you, easy, sensible meals. 
  • For better health and/or weight loss reduce fat calories. Get into the habit of reading labels and select foods that have a lower fat content. Then focus on reducing your overall food consumption. 
  • Drink a minimum of eight ounce glasses of water daily.  Coffee, tea, and diet soda are fine in limited amounts, but they are not a substitute for water. 
  • Plan to keep busy to keep your mind off food for the first few challenging days.  If you feel hungry, chew gum, drink water, go for a walk, or better yet, get involved in an activity to distract your attention away from food. 
    		•
  • Become very conscious of any and all food that you consume.  Nibbles and in-between snacks are easily forgotten, but their calories are not! 
  • Include a program of regular physical activity. Walking briskly for 30 to 45 minutes three times a week is one of the best ways to get started. An increase in your metabolism can increase your weight loss up to 10% over dieting alone - all with minimum effort! 
  • Reduce your intake of alcoholic beverages - besides adding calories, alcohol has no nutritional value and just 6 ounces of alcohol a day can slow down your metabolism by 33%. 
  • Your weight may fluctuate slightly from day to day so track your progress weekly. 
  • If your tap water has a strong taste, we recommend you use filtered or bottled water for mixing Cambridge drinks, soups and oats. 
  • Store Cambridge products carefully. Drinks should be kept at or below 75' F  and in tightly closed containers. Bars are sensitive to heat and should be kept at 65' F.  Never leave bars in the trunk of your car or in the sun. 
  • Reward yourself often - a new outfit, a good book, a movie, a weekend getaway can be terrific incentives to keep up the good work!
