My Actimel Story - Fran Dodds

My name is Fran Dodds.

I started drinking Actimel a few years ago and I have continued having a fat free Actimel every day. My favourite Actimel flavours are the fat free Raspberry and Strawberry. I buy both flavours in packs of 8 as my husband also enjoys drinking them and we alternate the flavours.

I have an Actimel first thing in the morning before having anything else to eat or drink.

I really love the taste and especially the feel of Actimel when I drink them cold straight from the fridge, it feels all velvety and soft on my throat and stomach.

The main activities I like doing are gardening and reading. But having said that both my husband and I really enjoy walking!

I recently enjoyed a week long outdoor pursuit type holiday which has given me the taste for the slightly more adventurous activities. Whilst on that holiday amongst other things I was initiated into abseiling, canoeing, making pottery, sliding down zip wires and the ultimate surprise was when we were given a flight in a microlight!!! All of which were only a dream previously.

Since then I have been and completed one of the Go Ape obstacle courses set 40 foot up in the trees which was brilliant - I hope to be doing that again in the not too distant future. I have also done a 30 metre abseil to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust - I also managed to rope my husband (who doesn’t like heights) into doing that as well and between us we raised around £450.

So really as far as activities go it’s a case of if it’s available then I’m game to try it!

I really like Actimel & I would and have recommended it to a number of people. Both my husband and his father are now avid Actimel drinkers!
