When I am REALLY craving sweets.

Postby Saa DMB 87 » July 25th, 2004, 11:15 pm

Sometimes when I feel like I am about to go crazy for a candy bar or some icecream I use a very small amount of water with my shake so that it is almost a pudding consistency. I add splenda and it satisfies my sweet tooth!

That sounds yummy! Do you whip it in a blender to get this texture? I find that if I don't mix my shakes with 10 oz. of water that they can be a little grainy, so I'd like to know how you mix yours this way.

Thanks for the tip :).

Fork

Maybe it's a little prehistoric but I use a fork and a coffee mug :)
the fork makes it easier to get it all mixed in.

Since there isnt much water it would probably get stuck in the blades of the blender.

I use a wire whisk to mix my shakes, oatmeal and soup. It seems to help with the grainy texture that sometimes remains even if you shake, shake, shake. In my office I have a small battery operated mixer. Works on two batteries. Mixes pretty good.

Try this -
Butter Pecan Ice Cream

3 Oz. Water
1/2 cup crushed ice
1 Packet Medifast Vanilla
1/2 tsp Maple Extract
1/2 Tsp Coconut Extract
Dash Nutmeg

In a blender, mix water add ice with flavoring.
Blend for a few seconds. Add Medifast Vanilla and blend for 15 to 20 seconds. For butter pecan ice cream, add a dash of nutmeg. Gives added flavor. Savor the rich, creamy texture. -from thinnerwinners
