I have not been able to successfully make either of these packages into anything edible. I hate to waste money on either of these items again, but I keep seeing recipes that use them (already prepared). I would love some tips from anyone who has had success making the IP crepes or the IP pancakes. Thanks!

    I haven't even tried them yet. I'm such a creature of habit with my IP food. I usually live on the premade chocolate and vanilla drinks so I can make mochas/lattes with my espresso machine at home. I'm in love with the mushroom soup mix, the caramel nut bars, and the premade chocolate pudding, so that's pretty much all I ever get, ever.

    Every now and then I'll come up with something creative but mostly I'm really boring. I suggest looking on Pinterest? There's tons of Ideal Protein boards and one of them might have some good tricks to make them taste the way you want. Good luck!

    Are you referring to the Phase I crispy rice cereal pancake? I have made this one twice and it's really good and easy. I haven't tried the pancake with the pudding yet though or the packaged pancake mix.

    Did you check with your clinic or provider to see if they do a trade-in/exchange program? Mine as well as most that I have heard of do.

    I am referring to the packages of pancake mix and crepe mix that you add water to and fry. I have tried more water and less water and I have tried low heat and medium heat. I just get a stuck-on mess. I am using very good Diamond Swiss pans, so I don't believe my pans are the problem.
    I have made the pancakes with the pudding mixes and they turn out better - just stay wet inside for quite a while.
    Thanks all for the suggestions.

    Check out www.idealyouweightloss.com - they have pages and pages of recipes and I guarantee you could probably find something!

    I found GREAT recipe for pancakes on there, made from the crispy cereal though, if you're looking for a good pancake!!!

    Crush your crispy cereal package, add a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg to it; in a bowl combing 2 egg whites (1/3 cup), 1/4 t. of vanilla and 1/4 t. of baking powder, add your cereal mix with spices in it, mix and cook for about 2 minutes...turns out delicious, just like a normal pancake! I add walden farms blueberry syrup, and it's quite amazing. :)
