It’s that time of year when we (hopefully!) get some brilliant days of sunshine. Want a fun drink – like a mocktail? In need of a tasty dessert? Or are you looking to add a little something extra to your weight-loss Plan?
Water flavourings can do just the trick!
Firstly, what are The 1:1 Diet Water Flavourings?
Staying hydrated is essential while on Plan, but water can sometimes feel a bit dull. For those who want a little variety, The 1:1 Diet offers a range of water flavourings to make it more enjoyable.
There’s several flavours to choose from, so something to suit everyone:
- Orange
- Pineapple
- Raspberry & Elderflower
- Pink Lemonade
- Golden Vegetable – if you want something a little more savoury
All you do is add a teaspoon of the flavour of your choice to a litre of water and voila – a tasty drink. But that’s not all. We’ve got in touch with Consultants to share some of their creations and find out how you can take a simple tub of water flavouring (and maybe a scoop of mix-a-mousse or two) and turn it into something fabulous!
Turkish Delight Recipe
Sweets on a diet? Well look no further. We’ve found a hack so you can make healthy Turkish Delight using the Raspberry and Elderflower flavour.
Ingredients:

- ½ teaspoon of Raspberry and Elderflower water flavouring (dependent on how strong you like the flavour – add more for a more intense flavour)
- 2-3 drops of rose water
- 150ml of water
Method:
Mix ingredients together with a blender and pour into moulds of your choice. Chill in the fridge until the liquid has set into a jelly-like consistency. Take from the mould and slice into cubes. Enjoy!

Icey Pole Recipe
Add 1½ teaspoons of your chosen Water Flavouring (or you could mix 2 together for an extra fruity flavour) to 1 litre of water, stir until the mix is dissolved, then pour it into ice moulds and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours. From Steps 3 and above, you could also add some fresh fruit to the mix. Once they have frozen, pop them out and enjoy!
Ice Cream Recipe
Ice cream is a bit of a treat, and certainly not something you’d associate with being on a diet. But some crafty Consultants have shown how you can turn The 1:1 Diet Vanilla meal replacement shake into ice cream, with a little help from the water flavourings too.

- ¼ teaspoon of Raspberry & Elderflower water flavouring (dependent on how strong you like the flavour – add more for a more intense flavour)

Combine all of the ingredients into a blender and blitz together until you have a creamy consistency. Once ready, transfer into a bowl or glass of your choice and enjoy!

Porridge Mix Up
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Raspberry and Elderflower water flavouring to either a Mixed Berry or an Original Porridge to enhance the already delicious flavour!
The 1:1 Diet Orange Juice
Ingredients:
- 400mls water
- A handful of ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Orange Water Flavouring
- 1 teaspoon Mix-a-Mousse
Method:
Add the water flavouring and mix-a-mousse to your blender along with the water and ice. Blend immediately until it froths and is well combined. Leave to settle and remove the foam. Stand for a minute of two so the ingredients have time to thicken slightly.
Pour into your glass of choice and serve with extra ice.
