HMR 120 Shake of the Week Recipe - Dark Cherry Chocolate Butterscotch
Posted by Alicia Leeds on Mon, Oct 05, 2009 @ 12:00 PM
Happy Monday!
Last week we brought you a yummy Blueberry Shake mixed with a scoop of HMR 120 and packet of HMR 800 as a reminder that you can always mix and match shakes for interesting flavors and textures.
Also, last week we started our new "Friday Fight" featuring wacky and frankly frightening new "foods" from the GAP. These are brazen examples of how challenging it is to manage our weight successfully in a culture that consistantly churns out cheap, heart stopping calories. Natalie is out there fighting the good fight and bringing you the worst of the worst. Be sure to send her your gruesome GAP finds at fulllifecoach@gmail.com.
The shake of the week for October 5, 2009 is perfect for dessert - featuring rich, dark cherries, our HMR 120 Chocolate Shake mix and Fat Free Sugar Free Butterscotch Jello pudding.
This one is best made super thick like ice cream - and you can pop it in the freezer for an extra half hour or so to make it even more like your favorite high cal dairy treat. I like to use the HMR 120 Chocolate shake mix to add a little extra in my scoop for thickness - but you can use any HMR shake, HMR 500, HMR 800 or HMR 70+ for this recipe. HMR 800 and HMR 70+ will require a little more water because these shakes thicken up pretty well even before you add the fat free sugar free jello.
Use frozen dark cherries for this shake. You can thaw them out ahead of time, or micro on high for about 45 seconds to melt them a little - pour the juice right in to the blender. If you like a little something to chew in your ice cream - pour in half of the cherries before you blend and chop up the other half and fold in just before eating.
HMR Shake Recipe - Dark Cherry Chocolate Butterscotch
To make this delicious HMR Chocolate dessert shake you will need:
1+ Cup Water
2 scoops HMR 120 chocolate shake mix
(or 2 packets HMR 500 chocolate, HMR 800 chocolate, HMR 70+ chocolate)
1T Fat Free Sugar Free Butterscotch Jello Pudding Mix
1 Cup Frozen Dark Cherries thawed
1 Tray ice (about 3-4 cups)
Mix ingredients in blender in order as above. Start on low until ice is crushed and then flip to high for about 90 seconds.
(I like the Oster beehive blender the best - it's simple - 1 switch - 2 settings - low and high. It has the power to make thick shakes and usually lasts about a year with twice daily use. About $45 at Kmart or TARGET.)
Bon Appetit!
