Into a blender, pour 5-6 oz of DaVinci's syrup (or other splenda-based syrup). I try to use about 5 oz. I use French Vanilla in this reciepe but you can use any flavor you like. I find the nut-based flavored ones aren't so yummy in medifast shakes, though (except sometimes chocolate shakes).

Put in a packet of Medifast french vanilla shake mix. Blend the syrup and shake mix at medium speed for at LEAST 60 seconds -- more if you can wait. Once it's all blended, I sometimes add a few drops (1/2 tsp sometimes) of vanilla extract.

Then, into the high-speed blender, add in about 15 ice cubes or more -- ONE AT A TIME. The one at a time is important -- wait until each one is completely crushed before adding another. If you don't wait, you'll end up with a grainy shake. You sometimes have to blend it a minute or two after the last ice cube to make sure the cubes start to melt into the mixture. It will be VERY thick -- and so yummy.

At the end, you'll have a vanilla "ice cream shake" that will boggle you, at how good it tastes.

I got the gingerbread syrup at Marshall's, Magic Bullet + vanilla supplement and sprinkle nutmeg on top, love it!

[Signladytf]

I kinda like a packet of Banana Blitz, some ice, topped off with a glob of peanut butter DaVinci syrup....reminds me a little of a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Of course, it's made with my Magic Bullet Blender. (I even bought another one to keep at work!) Can't take the country out of the girl!

Makes me wonder....what a packet of vanilla, peanut butter syrup and possibly a grape or strawberry syrup would do....a PB & J??

[Islandgirl]

I've been strictly on the shakes so far and I am really loving them!

I love the SF Davinci Chai syrup with my morning Vanilla shake and plenty of ice.

I also can't live without mixing 8 oz of Polar diet double fudge soda with my Chocolate shake and lots of ice. It is sooooo yummy.

When I am going out I make my shakes and poor them into an insulated giant mug and they will stay cold for hours which keeps me safe from straying while I'm out.

It's about time to stock up on more supplies!

Thanks everyone for posting the great recipes!

Oh, Wow! Lemme think about this one...
does your diet Polar double chocolate fudge + a Dutch Choc shake...does that = a triple Chocolate shake?

I feel chocolate deprived...never hada Polar!
It sounds tasty. Thanks for the idea!

Sign, I did try a Bananner Blitz with the DaVinci PB syrup - we call it The King and when we slurp it,
we curl our lip and wiggle our hips in honor of Elvis Presley!

Don't Be Cruel

[Guest]

I LOVE adding Diet Sprit Zero to orange delight! Tastes like a melted orange creamsicle! Of course, I add diet sprite zero to almost all my shakes. Is that cheating? I hope not!

[Nancy]

Nope, it's NOT cheating at all! You ought to try it in the Cranberry Mango fruit drink or the Tropical Punch - you'll be doing the Samba with a basket of fruit on your head and a low slung Island print skirt!

[Guest]

Thanks for this. I just started recently and I have not liked any of the shakes yet. Maybe I can make them a little bit better.

[Arklahoma]

If you guys are talking about Diet Big Red then it's fantastic!

[Nancy]

Arklahoma ~

I've never had Big Red but obviously,

it is making you become littler Arklahoma...
you're minus 27 pounds already -

that's great!

DIET CREAM SODA mixed with vanilla, chocolate, strawberry shake is quite yummy!

[Mike]

This was recently posted by kristinburdine and thought it would be a good place for here.

Hi All ! I was having a really hard time getting the orange cream shakes down, so I added 1/2 packet of Crystal Light On-The-Go lemonade and some ice and whizzed it up in my trusty Magic Bullet. WOW ! It made a world of difference. icon_biggrin.gif Tastes like orange sherbet or one of those Push-Up thingies I used to get from the ice cream man when I was a little girl ! Yum !
