Thanks everyone for voting so far. It looks like Dutch Chocolate is leaving the other flavors in the dust. I'll be checking back periodically. Thanks again everyone.

I must be a minority....I don't like the dutch chocolate at all!!! I have started mixing it with Diet Cherry 7Up to make it tolerable.

I got a sample of the Orange Pineapple and I really liked that.....once I get ready to order again, I'll be ordering more of that.

[Dean0408]

Okay Donna.......so long as you are just indecisive and not a big fibber........I can handle that.

Does orange delight taste like a creamsickle? I like that flavor, and found that by adding some DaVinci's orange syrup to a vanilla shake, the flavor came pretty darn close to a creamsickle.

But.........chocoalte is still my favorite.........decisively so......and.......I am not fibbing.

Dean, I think the Orange Delight shake tastes a lot like a Creamsicle – it needs to be made with very cold water for the best results. In the blender it is wonderful.

My fave fakes:
1.) Dutch Choc
2.) Chai Latte (yeah, yeah I know it is not one of the poll choices but I still choose this one because I love it so much
3.) - 5.) Nanner/Orange/Orange Pineapple are in a three-way run-off
6.) Cappuccino
7) Strawberry
8.) Niller and Swiss Mocha - blech

As a diabetic, I usually only drink the Medifast Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry shakes. I like them all, with Strawberry being last for a reason. I tried the Cappucino once when I got a free sample. It was so so GOOD I ordered Tropical Punch after hearing it was approved for diabetics. I have only had one envelope. I decided to mix it with Sprite Zero and ended with a drink with a heavy pink foam, like the top of a latte. The foam was reminiscent of Robitussin-sweet and medicinal. It will be a while before I try it again!

Dean, the FIT! shakes for teens (which anyone can use) have a creamsicle flavored one. I like to mix it in the jar with four ounces of water and a little Splenda, and set it on ice for an hour and a half or so, then eat it with a spoon. It's a treat! I do the same with the Dutch Chocolate once in awhile -- mmmm, fudgsicles!

Hey 24K..........Sounds like you have invented some "legal" ice cream there........(but then again you are an attorney aren't you? )

Actually, with summer coming on, I think your recipe is a perfect candidate for the "Lean Cuisine" section.

It sounds good, I think I will try making some ........thanks for the tip!!

Dean

[24KaratGold]

I think I actually got the idea from a Lean Cuisine thread some time ago Dean -- don't remember now. Either way, you're right, it's a wonderful thing when the weather is hot.

[Nancy]

When shakes are made in a blender they become very creamy and smooth - fluffy and air whipped. Then if they are popped into the freezer for a while they become icy and the texture is more like real ice cream.

24 K, I see that you are very close to becoming a zero...three pounds to two zero niner! Woo Hoo! Very cool!

[Dean0408]

Okay Nancy,

Before I put this concoction in the freezer to , I will.........as the classic Devo song suggests,

WHIP IT!....WHIP IT GOOD!


Thanks for the tip!

I am so glad that you didn't describe your Strawberry Sprite mixture as tasting like Luden's Cherry Cough lozenges - I used to fake coughs when I was a kid just so I could have some of my Mom's Luden Wild Cherry Lozenges.

Once my Great Grammy gave me one of her Vick's Cherry Cough Drops -blechy! It had so much menthol the entire carload of people could breathe easier…

It's funny how certain tastes, smells or brand names bring back odd memories of foodier days...
