Is the meal replacement shake in liquid form or would this be just the powder. I have some that I mix with milk &/or water.

How many muffins is this supposed to make?

I made these muffins using bananas, almond butter and omitting the flax seed. It made 12 muffins at approx 300 calories each.
I like them but there is NO WAY my kids would eat them!
