Hi all,
I normally do low carb but I thought I would post this recipe in the cal counters b/c it was such a GOOOOODDD low cal shake. I used Hood Calorie Countdown milk in place of the skim milk. They have the same calories but a lot lower in carbs. About 6 carbs per glass with the Hood.
Serves 4 for about 130 calories each Ingredients for this yummy Diet Shake:
4 cups of ice cold skimmed milk 1 small box of sugarfree/fatfree instant vanilla pudding 1 teaspoon of REAL vanilla extract 1 ounce of grated coconut 2-4 ice cubes 1-3 packets of Splenda or Equal if extra sweetness is desired
Blend all ingredients until thick and frothy. Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately. Top with 2 tablespoons of whipped topping if desired.
1 C skim Milk
1 small box sugar free chocolate pudding
1 ripe banana (you can substitute this w/ splenda for lower carb - but the banana makes it sweet)
1/3 C Fat Free Ricotta Cheese
Ice
Blend - VERY Thick and Chocolatey!!!

Marathon Mom,
Where do you find Fat free ricotta? I haven't seen it at my local stores. I really like ricotta for desert recipes but the best I've able to find is low fat, which is still pretty high in calories.
I am soooo writing this recipe down!!!! I can't wait to try it. Thanks
Wonder if I could divide this in 4 and make one serving at a time. Think a low-cal jello pudding cup would work instead of a whole box? Hmmmm
