Amy - I wouldn't use the box, just the powder! LOL!
I just made "something" and used 2T of the SF chocolate pudding, 1C of skim milk and 1/2 of finely crushed ice. I drank it but it really was like drinking slushy chocolate milk. I should have stuck it in the freezer and made it frosty like, but I wasn't thinking. Next time. Maybe others more savy will chime in.
I really should do the infomercial, I've created converts.
For the berries and ricotta, I take either a of berries, 2 packets of equal, and a half protein serving of Ricotta. I toss it all into the short cup and pulse it a few times. It's almost like eating ice cream.
Jersey - I use the LAWL shakes..they count as a lite and have fewer calories than the bars.
Tonight I made a chocolate banana shake (frosty consistency)
Crushed ice
1/2 banana (1 fruit)
4oz Skim Milk (dairy)
LA Lite Chocolate Shake Mix
Put the ice in then fruit..then liquid and add the packet of shake mix last. Put on the mixing blade and go to town. I pulse ...pulse ..shake ..shake...pulse ..pulse..until it looks like a frosty!
I don't, dutchess...but speaking of the flaxseed....you get the most benefits out of flaxseed when it is ground up, and the magic bullet works really well for that. We just put about a cup of flaxseed in, grind it up, then keep it in the refrigerator and use it on everything!
I use the LA shakes all the time in my BC - my favorites are (as Debbie has said) chocolate with banana and milk or vanilla with raspberries and milk. Preferably I use frozen fruit, but if I don't have frozen fruit I just add a little more ice.
I am going to jump in here and say thanks for the recommending the Magic Bullet! I have been drinking "green smoothies" all week and getting a lot more leafy greens in my diet that usual. I throw in a generous handful of fresh spinach leaves and some water, blend until liquified, then add a banana, a few frozen strawberries and 3 or 4 ice cubes and blend. It makes a wonderful fruit and spinach smootie which tastes fruity and I really don't notice or mind the spinach at all! Wonderful! I have done the same with fresh kale. Thanks!
I made a cheesecake out of it... I adjusted it to be a little more LAWL friendly... I used RF Cream Cheese (1 block), 1/4c Splenda for baking (I recommend less, maybe 1/8+), 1 teaspoon vanilla, and egg subsitute. Sooo good. I poured it into a RF Graham cracker crust. They suggest taking blueberries or any other kind of berries and puree-ing them up in the bullet, pouring them over it, then putting fresh berries on top of that.
