"Milkshake" Recipe - P2/P3

[Bella07]

I haven't tried the popular Mock Frosty recipe, but I made a milkshake for dessert the other night I wanted to share. It's delicious!

2 C skim milk
4 T sugar-free chocolate Jell-O Pudding mix
1 T natural PB
4-5 ice cubes

Put ingredients in a blender. Serves 2. I topped each glass with a dollop of FF Cool Whip and some shavings of dark chocolate (from a small square).

If you have had your nut allowance for the day, you can omit the PB. I like that it's more nutritious than plain Jell-O gelatin, although be aware of the calories if you add PB, Cool Whip, and dark chocolate! Not counting calories from the milk or PB, it's low in discretionary calories.

sounds good - I think I'd enjoy that. I like the white chocolate pudding better than the normal chocolate and I bought SF hazelnut and vanilla syrup last night - hazelnut and chocolate sounds really good right now!!

[Bella07]

Debby, that sounds good too! DH likes the white chocolate pudding, and we were thinking of trying that with milk, some raspberries or strawberries, and vanilla extract. Let me know if you come up with a good recipe!

bella - you ROCK!!! I made this last night with white chocolate pudding mix, sf hazelnut syrup instead of peanut butter and tossed in 7-8 70% dark cocoa chocolate chips - OMG it was WONDERFUL - looked and kind of tasted like an oreo shake. Next time, i'm going to freeze the blender container and the milk about 30 minutes before I make it. I bet a little NPB and the chocolate would taste like a reese's shake.

we are so awesome!

YUM! I made the "oreo" shake. It just sounded too good to be true so I had to try it! It really does look like an oreo shake and it tastes very similar too. I don't measure anything, but I used low fat ricotta cheese (maybe 2 tablespoons), 1% milk (1/2 to 1 cup), white chocolate pudding mix (2 tablespoons), 7-8 ice cubes, 5-6 dark chocolate chips, and a little bit of sugar-free hazelnut syrup. I think I might leave out the syrup next time but it was great! A very nice treat.

I've never made shakes w/ the pudding mix before (always used cocoa) but it makes it very smooth and milkshake-like. I think the chocolate chips really make it special - next time I think I'll try chocolate pudding, some peanut butter, and the chocolate chips.

Thanks for the idea!

I'm going to have one tonight [or today!!] with a splash of the hazelnut and a splash of sf kahlua syrup. If I have ricotta, I may try that, but I may have tossed it - I didn't like the ricotta desserts.

These sound good. I will add this link the next time that I update my recipe summary sticky. For everyone to also checkout (already in the Beverages section of my recipe summary):

Debby, I love your hazelnut idea! I'll give that a try. You can really get creative with add-ins and pudding flavors with this recipe. I didn't make any over the weekend, but I think I may see what I can come up with this evening.

[DebbyC]

I made it for my honey last night and I swear he swooned. He wants me to make your original version with NPB and choc pudding mix.

Just had to share.

Today I made a milk shake with:

skim milk
low-fat ricotta cheese
ice
sugar-free vanilla pudding powder
sugar-free coconut syrup (about 1 tablespoon)
unsweetened coconut (about 1 teaspoon)

YUM.

[DebbyC]

NYgirl - where did you find unsweetened coconut? I may not have looked close enough but I thought pretty much all I saw was sweetened.

And about the syrup - do you order those online or any kind of national store that might have them? Mine choices here seem pretty limited - hazelnut, vanilla, almond roca [yum!], raspberry, kahlua, and caramel. I'd like to try more, but I think they would get pricey ordering big bottles.

[nygirl22]

The unsweetened coconut I got at Wegmans. I had to search pretty hard for it. I know that in a Wegmans store 1 hour away from me I saw it in bulk, but at my local store it was not in bulk - only in these green bags (sorry I don't have them with me). The only thing is - coconut is pretty high in calories so watch out for that!

As for the syrups, no I'm too cheap to order them online! I get them at Marshalls. There's a Marshalls about 45 minutes away from me that used to have TONS but lately they have none. The one about 15 minutes from my house has about 10 at any given time (some of the same flavor). They just happened to have coconut (it's Artista brand). Usually they only have vanilla-hazelnut, french vanilla, and sometimes white chocolate.. the ones I have seen now are those plus chocolate, irish creme, raspberry, hazelnut, caramel, vanilla... I think that's it. They had a peanut butter (which I've wanted so badly) but unfortunately it was not sugar free.

[DebbyC]

I forgot about Marshalls...I've heard that TJ Maxx has them sometimes...it might be worth dropping by every couple weeks to see. At Christmas, Target has carried flavored syrups in their gift area - i'll have to see if any are sf this year.

And the bulk containers of coconut - I know just where I can go....that's a good place to get ww couscous and hopefully quinoa.
