Today I received a vanilla Complan sample in the mail from the forbaby.co.nz website, although I am yet to test that flavor out.
I read about Complan a few months before my son was born and made a mental note to give it a try if I needed a boost once the tiny human arrived. About two weeks into breastfeeding I needed that boost, so sent the husband off to the supermarket to pick up a box of chocolate Complan.
I didn't know what to expect taste wise, but for $17.00 I hoped that it was half decent, otherwise I was going to have to struggle through to finish the box.
I opted to use milk (blue top) for making my Complan, rather than water, so it was almost like a shake and I was surprised by how little milk you need to make a glass (although with 6 scoops of powder to make 1 glass of Complan, I can see why).
It is really easy to make, however some patience is required with mixing (I mixed by hand, would be much easier in a blender) & getting rid of lumps of powder (my husband was better at this than I was). Complan is on the pricey side and there are only nine servings per box, but it is worth spending the money on. It tastes great and is really handy for filling the gap on those days you can't get off the cluster feeding couch.
